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!

There were rats going into burgers! Zoe was my favourite character. She brought a rat into school and it climbed on her and sat on her during history lesson! I would recommend it to others. They set them all free in the warehouse, then the rats ate Burt and Sheila as burgers! Ew! I loved this book, it was so disgusting.

This book is very emotional rollercoaster!It is a very good idea to put in the things that other authors don’t because of Walliams did come up with the idea that bully’s are sometimes mean because they aren’t having any attention!

Great book David Walliams! :)

It was fiction and I liked Zoe because she was the hero. I would recommend it for a mix of emotions.

Ratburger was a fictional book.Here are the characters of the book:

•Zoe, a little girl
•Burt, a burger-van man
•Dad, a normal human being
•Sheila, Zoe's stepmother

And here is a list that goes by quicker:

Tina Trotts(The local bully),Mr Grave(The headmaster),Gingernut (A dead hamster),Miss Midge(A small teacher),Armitage(A live rat) and Raj(A large newsagent).

By the list you can tell there are a lot of characters but I was thinking this really strange thing.Which one is worse,a dead hamster in your house or a rat in your house?Now let me tell you about the story.The most saddest chapter is Prawn- Cocktail-CrispBreath and it is where Gingernut dies.Gingernut was Chloe's hamster witch died somehow.

Because somebody has lost his eyes!

I thought the book was a bit sad because her mum is very greedy and doesn’t even feed set;Llosa.I thought that the dad was very kind when he rescued the daughter from Burt. Stella was my favourite character because she is kind towards rats.I would recommend it because it teaches people nit to hurt animals

Zoe's stepmother is so lazy, she asks her to pick her nose for her. And the school bully loves flobbing on her head. Worst of all, the dastardly Burt has terrible plans for her pet rat!

14 Dec 2021

I didn’t really like this book it was gross and a bit sad I don’t think I would recommend it

06 Dec 2021

Good read

15 Oct 2021

I liked that it was to do with rats. I liked that they saved lots of them. I didn't like that it was such a long book and took a long time to get to the action.

very good

05 Oct 2021

I enjoyed this book and it was funny when Burt's sunglasses fell off. I would add more suspense though, as it wasn't enough for my liking. Zoe is my favourite character because she is kind-hearted towards her dad and pet rat, Armitage. I also liked the fact that Zoe was very brave and courageous because she saved Armitage's life and her dad's from the deadly pulversation machine. I would recommend it to my friends as it was so thrilling, but I would not recommend it to some one who gets frightened easily.

09 Sep 2021

I liked this book. I’ll tell my friends about this book

04 Sep 2021

Fun story. Glad the little girl saved everything in the end.

04 Sep 2021

There was a girl trying to save a rat

03 Sep 2021

I felt really sorry for Zoe the main character. I found it a bit uncomfortable reading the story to be honest
