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!
David Walliams' book 'SPACEBOY' was a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 28-11-2022.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2023
2/3 of my class are now reading David Walliams books; and nearly half of them are reading this title. They cannot put this book down! Laughter and giggles permeate through the classroom during Individual Reading sessions. I walk into the room to take the register at the beginning of the day to silence ... everyone's nose is in a book! Sections are shared; small portions are read aloud - the addiction is passed from one child to another! They have even infected me! I just had to read it to see what it was that was keeping them all so engrossed!
Plot Summary (without spoilers!)
Zoe is 11 and has just started 'big school', where she is bullied horrendously for 3 reasons: - she is terribly poor; she has red hair and she is short for her size. Her father is an redundant ice-cream maker; and her mother is dead. Her stepmother is vile! She is totally obese and eats nothing other than prawn cocktail flavour crisps! One day, Zoe is devastated to find that Gingernut, the pet hamster that she had been training was dead. What can she do? They cannot afford a replacement and, even if they could, her stepmother is very anti-rodents; then Zoe finds a baby rat in her bedroom and her adventures begin!
Whilst the humour is quite 'wicked' in places, it is no more so than many of Roald Dahl's titles (particularly George's Marvellous Medicine, The Witches and The Twits.)
Overall, I have to say: - Thank you, David Walliams - you have inspired a group of reluctant readers to absorb themselves in books. Long may it continue!
Highly recommended for 8 to 12 year olds with a wicked sense of humour!
It's about a little girl who lives with her dad and her step mother who is opsested with prawn cocktail crisps! The little girls hamster suddenly dies and you'll find out who at the end of the book. But a few weeks later she finds an adorable rodent but as soon as people find out there's trouble!!! Theres a girl who is a big bully and bullies the little girl but at the end of the book they become BFFS!!!................
At the end of the book it gets a bit odd ( 2 bad people get turned into a burger!!) So may be a bit unsuitable for under 7.
I'm 11 and I loved this book and all David's other fab books like:
Gangsta granny, Gangsta Granny - Link for book
Billionaire boy! Billionaire Boy - Link for book
The boy in the dress! The Boy in the Dress - Link for book
And Mr stink! Mr Stink - Link for book
But I think this one is the best so far!!!!!!
I would recommend this to any one who loves a fun , weird , hilarious book!!!
Zoe's is the main character and you tend to feel sorry for her, as she doesn't have a good life with her step mother. Zoe loves animals and hopes one day to be able to demonstrate that she can train rats and hamsters to dance. Burt is the evil villain, who runs a burger van. Zoe's dad is a weak man, but loves his daughter dearly. Would definitely recommend this book to both adults and children alike.
