About this ebook

The fifth screamingly funny novel from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country.

Hot on the heels of bestselling Gangsta Granny comes another hilarious, action-packed and touching novel – the story of a little girl called Zoe. Things are not looking good for Zoe. Her stepmother Sheila is so lazy she gets Zoe to pick her nose for her. The school bully Tina Trotts makes her life a misery – mainly by flobbing on her head. And now the evil Burt from Burt’s Burgers is after her pet rat! And guess what he wants to do with it? The clue is in the title...

From the author that is being called ‘a new Roald Dahl’, Ratburger is not to be missed!

Ratings and reviews

SPOILERS: I actually forgot what the book was called during the plot reveal of the story. This made it pretty shocking. However, if somebody was keenly overanalysing everything, the plot reveal would be rather predictable. But who cares. This is still a great book.

It was a good book.. but I am an analysing reader.. and I easily guessed the plot in no time... it wasn't hard at all.. but oh well. If you are like me then don't bother, if not, go ahead and read it!

Follows a typical Walliams formula, with the usualy lists but not as repetitive as his other recent books so getting better in that regard.
