“… Miss Root’s eyes were black. Blacker than oil. Blacker than coal. Blacker than the blackest black.

In short, they were black.”

 

Have you ever liked going to the dentist? If that’s a no, this amusing 430 page book tells of a little boy who “was the king of really really hating to go to the dentist”, his dad, his non-girlfriend, and a demon dentist. This story is jam-packed with sugary candy, acidic toothpaste, creepy crawlies under pillows, and laughing gas. What!? It’s “a horror story with quite a lot of made up words”.

#1 International Best-Selling author Daniel Walliams has been called the new Roald Dahl, and in this book, you’ll see why.

In the beginning of this review, I said that this was a 430 page book. If you are a light reader, that may be a red flag. Well, April Fools! 😀 It does have 430 pages, but the words are in a big font, so there’s not much to read on a page. Oh, and did I not mention that there are illustrations too? Demon Dentist is not a challenging book to read, but it provokes emotions. There are humorous and gloomy parts too.

Demon Dentist gets a three star rating.
