About the Book

The UK's #1 bestselling children's author, David Walliams, hailed as “the heir to Roald Dahl" by The Spectator, bursts onto the American market with New York Times bestseller Demon Dentist—and it's one dentist appointment you don't want to miss.

Something strange is happening in Alfie's town. Instead of shiny coins from the tooth fairy, kids are waking up to dead slugs, live spiders, and other icky, terrible things under their pillows. Who would do something so horrific? Alfie is sure that Miss Root, the new dentist in town, is behind it all. There's nothing Alfie hates more than going to the dentist, but to solve this mystery, he may have to book a dreaded appointment…

Critical Praise

PRAISE IN THE USA FOR DEMON DENTIST:
“A Brit-flavored romp that combines moments of intense terror and bracing courage with biting satire.” - Kirkus Reviews

“A Dahl-esque mix of humor and horror that will appeal to fans of both.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“A goofy, gory, outlandish tale of deep evil and terrible tooth-rot—and sweetness of heart. Kids who enjoy humorous gross-out horror will definitely want to book an appointment of their own with the Demon Dentist.” - Wall Street Journal

“Dahl-esque in the extreme…Frenetic humor for middle grade fans of the funny and fearsome.” - School Library Journal
