Ratburger

Zoe has plenty to be miserable about. At home, her stepmother has grown so idle that she expects Zoe to do even the most unpleasant small jobs for her. At school, a bully finds it entertaining to spit on Zoe's head. The greatest danger comes from Burt, a wicked character who has designs on Zoe's beloved pet rat. The book keeps its scheme hidden, though the title offers a hint about what it might be.

Ratburger is a comic children's novel by David Walliams, a British comedian and writer who is also known for Gangsta Granny. Its tone is cheeky and grotesque, and it is aimed at young readers who enjoy outrageous humour and a villain they can jeer at.
