This was so funny, I almost fell out of my bed laughing!
Whatever you do, don't read it in bed. You will be up all night laughing!

For fans of Walliams, this is a must see (or must read)

Overall, 10/10!

I liked the chapter about Miss Spick because I liked the part where the Twizzle twins put some rocket boosters on her trike and when she turned it on she was blasted into outer space. I would recommend this book as it’s a very funny read.

An amazing book it was hilarious and my chapter favourite chapter was the one about miss conceit she was an art teacher who only cared about herself and in art classes they were only allowed to paint pictures of her in the end the children tricked her into actually be inside the stature.
