What would you do if someone on the news tells you that in less than a
week there would no longer be any chocolate available? That is just
what happened where Jennifer Wellington, nicked named Jelly Welly,
lives.
Jelly knows that something just isn't right. How could all the chocolate
just disappear? After this announcement, the whole town is going nuts.
People are running out trying to buy as much chocolate as possible.
While the panic is happening, Jelly also has a science project that is
due on the same day that chocolate will disappear. Jelly comes up with
an idea: she takes a small bit of chocolate, places in a box and hides it
in their shed.
Jelly and her grandmother start investigating why chocolate will
mysteriously disappear. The queen of their country tells everyone that
one chocolate bar will be sent to every family. As Jelly and her family
wait for the bar, they notice their noisy neighbor, Mrs. Bumstable,
looking up and down the street. Jelly's family never gets their
chocolate, leading to them following Mrs. Bumstable, who leads them
to Gari. Gari is hoarding all of the chocolate, and paying Mrs.
Bumstable to steal as much chocolate from the neighborhood as
possible...
THE CHOCOPOCALYPSE a great
children's book written by Chris Callaghan. I enjoyed it and am sure
when I give it to my niece she will love it. Callaghan has a great
imagination while writing this book. I feel that he had to really think as a
young child would think. Callaghan really writes with some humor. Who
would ever think that we would run out of chocolate? I am sure if this
ever happened, people would do the same thing that the people in this
town did. Every time I go to the store I look at the chocolate and feel
like I have to stock up! This is a great book for any young reader. Even
adults will enjoy it!
Life for Jelly Welly—or Jennifer Wellington—is totally
and utterly normal in Chompton-on-de-Lyte. She lives with
her mum and dad and gran, has nosy neighbors who like to
gossip, and really needs to think of a science project
that will get her a good grade.
But when news breaks of an impending chocopocalypse,
her whole world—and the world at large—is thrown into
utter chaos.
With only six days left until no more chocolate, Jelly
has a sneaking suspicion that something isn’t right. She
and her gran investigate, picking up on a mysterious
trail of clues.
Is it really the dreaded chocopocalypse, or is there a
mastermind behind the madness?
