Review From:
Tipperary
Demon dentist is a tale about a poor boy and his dad. There is also a demon dentist named Miss Root but I’ll get to that later. The boy is named Alfie. Alfie hates the dentist. He started hating the dentist after an incident that had occurred. It was a simple case of toothache but it ended up in disaster. The dentist was an ancient man named Mr Erstwhile. Despite his good intentions, Mr Erstwhile should have retired many years ago. The dentist looked like a tortoise, an old tortoise at that. The dentist yanked and yanked but the tooth he brought to the dentist to take a look at wouldn’t come out so he called for help. He needed more help so everyone in the waiting room came and helped. After a while the tooth shattered but the pain from the toothache was still there. The dentist took out the wrong tooth!
REPORT
I’m finished that story so I’ll tell you about the story that the book is actually about. Alfie’s school was introduced to Miss Root. She brought sweets that appeared to be sugar-free sweets but were actually packed with sugar.
The next day everyone who had some sweets had toothaches luckily Alfie and a girl (I won’t tell you much about her because that would be spoiling the book) never ate any of the sweets so they didn’t have toothaches. To make it worse for Alfie a social worker came to his house and planned a meeting for the dentist with his dad. Winnie was the name of the social worker. He was supposed to meet up with Winne at 1:30pm. Instead he started a big chase at school. They kept on chasing him that by accident while looking for a place to hide he went into the dentist’s office.
He got all his teeth removed and had to wear fake teeth. A few days after the girl was about to experience that fate too but Alfie stopped the dentist and they got caught. They nearly got their skin melted off them but Winnie and Alfie’s dad rescued them. Alfie’s dad died because of the coal dust from the mine they were in. Winnie adopted Alfie and got married.
I loved this book and recommend it if you’re bored since it makes you more excited every page (I would not recommend it for a bedtime story or reading it before you go to bed).
