Superstar, author and illustrator Rob Biddulph dazzles in Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City, the first title in an adventure series for children 8+. Fizzing with magic, danger, friendship and art, this exciting, funny, middle-grade debut is from the bestselling creative genius behind #DrawWithRob. Perfect for boys and girls aged 8 to 12.

‘A thrilling journey into a magical world packed with Rob’s brilliant humour.’ – David Walliams

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 . . . I need to know what happens next!’ – Nadia Shireen

‘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

I have read this book

Love the Peanut Jones series. Every ending of every book leaves you in suspense for the next book! I thought that how Nerys disguised herself was really good. I also enjoyed the part where Peanut's Dad got Little Tail ( the pencil) but the prophecy didn't come true until Leo had the pencil because it was his 18th birthday.

It’s the first of 3 books and it’s a real adventure to follow along with. It’s about an ordinary girl whose dad suddenly disappeared one day. And she finds a magical pencil that helps her on her adventure through the illustrated city. I’d recommend to children who like Harry Potter because it’s magical and adventurous about a group of friends.

This book is packed with adventure and fun. My favourite character is Peanut because she loves to draw, colour and she adores art. it was very interesting but with a touch of darkness too. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

I really like Little-Bit and Doodle they are really nice and friendly. Rockwell is a bit strange and Peanut is a bit bossy at times but all in all it is a great book! I would definitely recommend it. :)

I really liked Mr White, the bad guy of the story. The RAZERS were controlling the city and they were quite scary! I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
