The Astounding Broccoli Boy

good

Read this as a class novel to my children. They adored the first chapter and begged me to keep reading! Based on what the children know (in a school with characters who are nice and not very nice) the children could really connect with the characters. We all loved the twists that kept appearing, and mini-cliff hangers at the end of the short chapters.

it was a really funny book. ive already listened to the author reading this book. i thought it was a great book

I really enjoyed it .

Good

This book is so funny at the part when the boy makes gorillas on the loose.

A great book which is full of adventure especially the part when they found a new member of their society. My favourite person I liked the the best was Koko . It interest me because it was silly and funny in a good way. I would recommend it to my friend Amelia.

This is my favourite book it is funny and suspensful overall a great book

This author makes me laugh a lot I am now reading some of his other books

The main character, Rory Rooney, is the best because he has cool abilities - I won't say any more! If I could change one thing, I would make there be more funny comments - there are plenty already, but Frank Cottrell-Boyce is great at jokes!
I would recommend it to people who love Jamie Smart books and other funny Phoenix writers.

I love it, it = super

I think it’s a funny and exciting book and I would recommend it. My favourite part was when they let the animals out of the zoo and when the hippo had a fight with the freezer.

Full of adventure and fun, this book will take you on a real trip

You’d have thought this book was written in 2020! It wasn’t, but if you haven’t ever read this book, do read it now. Memorable characters and story masterfully written by Frank Cotterell- Boyce are enhanced by charming illustrations by Steven Lenton. 📚❤️🌟

This was very adventourous and fun to read

This was a hilarious story about a boy who turns green one day and believes he has super heroic powers (although the Killer Kitten virus and locked down London are weirdly prophetic given the present pandemic!) Rory, the main character, lives his life using advice from the book ‘Don’t be scared, be prepared’, and he has many uses for it in this action packed story. I would recommend it to any 7+ year old who loves a super hero story ( and a chuckle).

Good

This is a strange story with lots of interesting characters.

Another amazing book by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. It talks about a boy, Rorey Rooney, turning green! Nobody knows why, but he thinks he's a super hero. Its a really enthralling and funny story, all the characters have a personality which makes you remember them, and some have really funny personalities. It's a funny, amazing book and I strongly recommend it. There's even a little penguin!

I liked the penguins. It was funny.

I just love the author

funny and interesting

It was funny. I liked the penguins

It’s about a boy abd two others that turn green and go on superhero adventures . Would recommend as it’s funny

This is a very funny book, my favourite bit is the penguins in London. I would recommend it to children aged 8-12.

This book was about a boy called Rory Rooney who was bullied as a child. One of his bullies, Tommy-Lee turned from hurting him to joining and admiring him. Both of them turn green and are isolated - they turn into superheroes. They make friends with a girl, Koko and penguins. In the end they find the green color was caused by an allergic reaction. It was the killer kittens who had turned them green but not Ill but actually immune. This has allowed doctors to create a killer kitten vaccine - the children became superheroes as a result. They sneeze superpower. I liked this book because it had a strong message that whatever the thing that makes you different is the thing that makes you astounding. The thing that makes you different from everyone else is your superpower - like they say in the comic books. I would recommend this book to 9 + years.

It was an unusual book where three people turned green. My favourite character was Rory because he stood out to me when his personality changed. I would reccomed this book to people who like real life fantasy.

I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it as it was funny.

This book was funny. My favourite character was Rory Rooney.

Perfect for a pandemic!
