It’s been wonderful hearing of schools using my book as part of their lessons or topic work (although it is still just as wonderful hearing of children reading it purely for a giggle!). I’m often asked about school resources … so, I’m delighted to reveal that Educational Consultant supremo, Jane Considine and The Training Space have put together some amazing English Unit Plans for Year 4 around The Great Chocoplot. Jelly ist eine sehr sympathische Protagonistin und ich finde es toll, dass sie so eine gute Beziehung zu ihrer Oma hat. Diese lebt nämlich im Wohnwagen, der in der Auffahrt zu Jellys Haus steht. Die beiden geben einen tolles Team ab. A fantastically realistic look at what could happen in a chocolate shortage. I love how Jelly is in a family with 1 parent who has lost their job, as these days that is the reality for a lot of people. It was cool having her grandmother live so close, and convenient for the after hours expediion Jelly ends up on. There is a lot of humour, some subtle which younger readers may not get but which made me smile a lot. I advise having some chocolate to hand when reading this as it made me want some!!! A girl can only resist for so long, alrhough I'm not as desperate as Jelly's mum was in that kitchen incident.

Your class will use the table to sort these words that can end in the suffix -ing. The words can all be found in chapters 11 of ‘The Great Chocoplot’. My favourite character was jelly because she really wanted chocolate to not go away. If it was factual I would like it because it would talk about the history of chocolate. Schokopokalypse" ist jedoch nicht nur witzig. Bald wird es richtig abenteuerlich und Chris Callaghan lässt sogar einen kleinen Kriminalfall mit einfliessen, so dass es je länger je spannender wird.

Das Cover ist wie ein Schokopapier mit dunkler Schokolade umrandet und passt. Dazu sieht man Jelly für mich und Garibaldi Schokoladi. Wer das ist, erfahrt ihr im Buch, aber ich finde die beiden zu gut und auch das sie der Sache auf den Grund gehen. Also passend zum Inhalt umgesetzt.

Zombie outbreaks. Alien invasions. Meteor strikes. Virus epidemics. Nuclear war. But in The Great Chocoplot, Chris Callaghan has come up with the most chilling apocalypse yet: the end of chocolate. I am not sure who I disliked more, the next-door neighbour (especially considering the stuff she pulls near the end) or the villain of this book. Mmm. *thinks it over* Well, I think I am going for the villain, though he is quite an idiot in the end. :P The Great Chocoplot is genius! Fantastic storytelling that pulls you in, and wonderful characters who take you on a magical adventure! What would YOU do if you heard that chocolate was about to disappear for good? *whisper* I had a Bruce Bogtrotter moment and ate more than was good for me... oops!

And so begins the chaos of chocopocalypse. As each day passes we see the chocolate situation is getting more and more dire. People are hoarding chocolate, stores are turning emptier with each passing day, and there are even riots.Der Autor Chris Callaghan hat hier eine wundervolle Geschichte verfasst die einen mitnimmt in die Welt der Schokolade und der bevorstehenden Schokopokalypse. Ich finde die Idee sehr gut und vor allem passend umgesetzt. Alleine das es hier eine Schoko Zentrum Namens Mampfton gibt oder das die Leute so in die Schokoladenherstellung mit einbezogen werden gefällt mir. Und auch die Idee dass sie einfach so verschwinden könnte. Sehr gut mit einer tollen Protagonistin die mir hier gefällt und ihre Sache mit der Suche der Wahrheit gut meistert.
