Great

This is a great book to read if you're mad on chocolate. The second you start reading there's nothing to tempt you out of the book. There are clear layouts and lots of pictures. You can have a clear image of what's going on even without the pictures. The funniest thing is that there's a town called Chompton.

The Great Chocoplot by Chris Callaghan was amazing! I really enjoyed following Jelly as she tried to solve the chocopocalypse and if it was true. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a mystery or loves chocolate.

This book is about a girl who loves chocolate and one day she watches a TV show and finds out that there will be a ‘chocopocalyspe’ - the end of chocolate! But there is a thief - can she save her town?? I thought this book was ok, but I didn’t like it so much because it wasn’t as exciting as I’d hoped.

I liked jelly and gran

Director Diamond Glitterball 20.12.2023

I liked this book because Jelly was really brave and she was extremely determined to save Chompton from running out of chocolate. Garibaldi Chocolati was trying to steel chocolate

Everyone in Compton likes chocolate but it doesn't mean we have to be selfish and steal all of the chocolate around the world by telling lies. Chocolate can sometimes mean to spread all around

This book made me sooo hungry when I read it, and I loved how it was a funny mystery, so this was perfect for me. I loved how the baddie is not who you think it is, but what they're up to is even trickier to guess. But throughout the book, eventually, you can try and start solving the mystery with the characters too! This was very fun.

I enjoyed reading this book and even narrated a small part to my mom

My favourite character was jelly because she really wanted chocolate to not go away. If it was factual I would like it because it would talk about the history of chocolate. I would recommend it to my friends and my class because they like chocolate.

Super funny!

It was very funny and gross all at the same time. Jelly became famous for her experiment on the chocopocalypse. She and her Gran stopped Mr Chocalarti and doggy dave from taking all the chocolate.

A really fun book with good characters. It made me worry about a world without chocolate!!! One of the naughty characters is Dodgy Dave and he made me laugh. I would recommend this book to other children.
