Iluntasuna iritsi zen herrira. Gauza arraroak ari ziren gertatzen gau ilunean. Haurrek jarriko zuten hortz bat burkoaren azpian sagutxoarentzat, baina goizean esnatuko ziren eta zer aurkituko eta... bare akabatu bat, armiarma bat bizirik, ehunka ipurtsarde arrastaka burkoaren azpian. Deabrua lanean ari zen. Baina nor edo zer zegoen gauza horien atzean?

Another great David Walliams book. ( )

This definitely COULD be a five-star book. I'm torn. I didn't like the dad dying in the end, and I REALLY didn't like the evil cat licking blood off of the pulled tooth. There was a fair amount of "boy humor" which made me roll my eyes... but ultimately it got to the point where I was laughing. Overall, pure absurdity. Purely amazing. I certainly intend to look into Walliam's other books. ( )

Dark, gruesome & quite scary, Walliams hits the spot again. ( )

This is one of the funniest books I have read. Alfie takes care of his dad who can no longer work in the mines because of his health. It's just Alfie and Da. A dentist moves into town and comes to school for a lecture. She studies all the children's teeth. A social worker, Winnie, has been assigned to Alfie's family. She sees Alfie's teeth and makes an appointment with the new dentist. Alfie and his friend Gabz feel there is something wrong with this dentist and Alfie wants no part of dentistry (bad early experience.) And so the chase begins.

I laughed throughout the book. I loved the characters especially Winnie, Raj, and Alfie. Outrageous and mysterious, it is wonderful how Alfie and Gabz find out the truth. I loved Da. There is more to him than a sick old man. He's a hero.

This is a book for everyone. It brightened my day. ( )
