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.

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.
It is very creative, imaginative and descriptive. Recomended for high ability readers and imaginative ones
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.
My fave book. I love Peanut.

I liked Little Bit because she's a very clever 5 year old, it's like she's in year 6! Definitely recommend this to everyone because it has a lot of adventure!
I think it's a very imaginative creative book.
Peanut Jones and the illustrated city
This is an ordinary book.My favourite person is Jonathan Higginbottom. He’s funny.
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. :)
Loved loved loved reading this book for bedtime story. A lot of late nights reading it. Brilliant story. My favourite character out it is everyone.
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.
This book is brilliant. I was recommended it by one of my pupils. They said I would love it and they were right! I couldn't put it down. I loved it so much and the illustrations captured my imagination even more. I love the mystery that is still to be solved and the real life events that take place within the story. I've already started reading book 2!

This is a great book for children in Years 4 or above and I would recommend it to all readers. It has an interesting central mystery and all of the characters are relatable and develop throughout the story.

Peanut jones and the illustrated city is an amazing adventure story, every page full to the brim with fun, danger and outstanding illustrations. It’s about a girl called peanut who finds a pencil with extraordinary powers and discovers herself in an illustrated land on a quest to destroy Mr white and to find her dad. Amazing for kids 6 and over.
Fist up, Peanut Jones and the illustrated city is one of the best books ever! It was so creative and sneaky.Peanut is so artistic and clever, I love her character the author did a great job at describing her. One thing i really love about this book is the illustrations in side, they are black, white and orange.Just those colours.They work really well together.
