The Great (Food) Bank Heist
Onjali Q. Raúf, Theo Solomon
Written with great empathy and Rauf’s trademark humour, The Great (Food) Bank Heist is a moving story that gives a child’s-eye view of the increasing problem of food poverty.
On Thursdays, Nelson, Ashley and Mum head out to the bank. But not just any old bank – the food bank. With its shining tins and packets of food stacked from floor to ceiling, Nelson thinks it’s the best kind of bank there is. But there’s a thief in town, and the shelves of the food bank are getting emptier each day, leaving people hungrier than ever. For the sake of his family and everyone else’s, Nelson needs to make them stop. But can he and his friends really be the ones to catch the bank robber?

This book was a lot smaller and more boring than I thought it would be however it provided an important message and Its good that Onjali Rauf wrote a book about this

I liked the book because it just shows how important it can be to have a food bank and why you must not steal from a food bank! I liked all of the characters who helped get the food back and catch the people who stole the food! I would also recommend this to people!
