‘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.

It was quite an adventurous book.
Amazing
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.
Interesting book, pictures are good
It’s griping, peanut is good
It’s a good girl character
Peanut is good at art
Very imaginative and original because they have this whole illustrated city
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.
So good
I liked peanut the most l would recommend it
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.
adventurous!
this book was fiction and my favourite character was peanut because she saved the day.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves creativity and a wild imagination.
Love the drawings, full of suspense
I like Peanut and Little-Bit because they are both adventurous
I found it very funny and Ideally enjoyed the adventure
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!
I think it was really good because I like stories with good guys and bad guys. My favourite character was Peanut Jones because she has a magic pencil.
My favourite part is were peanut meets a mean robot panda lulu and she starts to fall apart and turns savage
I really enjoyed this book because the characters had a fun adventure. My favorite character was little bit (LB). I would recommend any time and interesting fact the author is also a great artist.
I thought it was amazing, as it was a fiction book it is a good book if you like to transport your mind into a different world.
It was a bit too easy for me but still an excellent book
I would recommend this book to someone else. I liked Little bit best since even though she wasn’t supposed to come, she still tried to help
adventurous and thrilling
I would recommend this book to others. It was very creative. The only thing not quite right was you couldn’t put it down!
We read this book together & cannot wait for the sequel.
It’s an amazing story because it’s full of adventure mixed with emotional elements too.
I thought that the old lady was really kind and that peanut was very bold.My favourite character was little bit.It interested me how little bit was really small but she was still really smart I would probably recommend it.
I really enjoyed this book because I always wanted to read peanut jones. This book was fiction and my favourite character was peanuts little sister little bit aka Elizabeth . I would reccomend this book because Rob biddulph is a excellent illustrator and book writer.
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one to come out
I liked peanut because she was determined and dedicated to save her dad and never believed he just ran away throughout the whole book. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who likes art because it is about Peanut and her friends trying to save the worlds creativity from dying out and paints and draws to save day.
Brilliant book once I read it I wanted to read it again and again. I would recommend it all magical adventure readers.
