'A thrilling journey into a magical world packed with Rob’s brilliant humour.' – David Walliams Superstar, author and illustrator Rob Biddulph dazzles in Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City, the first title in an adventure series for boys and girls of 8+. This exciting, funny, middle-grade debut is from the bestselling creative genius behind #DrawWithRob and is illustrated in black and white throughout. Some legends are born, some are drawn . . . Drawing feels like magic to Peanut Jones. But art can't fix her problems. Her dad has gone missing, and she's stuck in a boring new school. Until the day she finds a unique pencil turbo-charged with special powers. Suddenly she's pulled into a world packed with more colour, creativity, excitement and danger than she could ever have imagined. And maybe, just maybe, she might find out what happened to her dad. 'Peanut Jones is AWESOME. I loved this book from start to finish - the story is packed with twists and turns, and Rob’s illustrations are full of wit and warmth' – Nadia Shireen 'A vividly illustrated, immersive romp that will leave readers desperate for the next instalment' – Guardian 'A wildly imaginative, big-hearted celebration of creativity' - Anna James, bestselling author of the Pages & Co series 'Look at this utter beauty . . . This book is EPIC' - Laura Ellen Anderson, bestselling author of Amelia Fang

Peanut is a young girl who lost her dad a year ago and everyone thinks he ran away to Mexico and Peanut, Rockwell and Little-Bit are convinced he didn’t…

I like this book because it is fun in the way of illustrating because it is cool how you can just draw something and it appears in you hand.

If I could 1000 stars I would, I love this book! We love Rob Biddulph and have lots of his children's illustrated books. Now I am a bit older I was really excited to see he has chapter books. This is the best book. It is all about Peanut Jones whose Dad has mysteriously disappeared and she find a magic pencil which is the key to unlocking a magic world of drawing, called Chroma. If you like drawing and adventure stories this is for you.

It was very good and funny. It has interesting words and a very arty adventure! My favourite character was doodle the dog because when Peanut first met him, she drew him a ball and they started playing for what seemed like an hour but in fact, time moves differently in Chroma. I would recommend it to all ages.

It was so good best book idea ever. it's about a girl who finds a magical pencil and whenever she draws things they come to life and once she drew a door and opened it and walked inside it and what it revealed was..... an illustrated city!
