The Great Chocoplot: a laugh-out-loud adventure perfect for fans of Dahl and Walliams!

Product Information

I loved her experiment, and I am glad she finally found something to do/test. Sure, it was a bit simplistic and weird given how everyone else is truly working hard on their experiments and she is just making shots of the box, but it fitted with the current situation perfectly. Plus in the end... :P The Great Chocoplot is a fun and magical adventure with a great plot and brilliant characters. But be aware, if you read this, make sure to have some chocolate available at home because I promise you it will make you hungry for a lot of chocolate. I didn’t have some at home though, so I drank a hot chocolate instead. No more chocolate!!!! If you were to believe what is being reported on the One, sorry Seven Show then that is what is going to happen in a weeks time. What would you do? Don't worry though because Jelly and Gran are on the case.

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! It’s up to Jelly (and her Gran) to get to the bottom of the mystery – before it’s too late. Because a world without chocolate just doesn’t bear thinking about. But when news breaks of an impending chocopocalypse, her whole world—and the world at large—is thrown into utter chaos. Jelly and her family are stunned when they hear on television that in just a few days chocolate will be gone, for ever! There is a Chocopocalypse on the horizon... can Garibaldi Chocolati the owner of the towns posh chocolate shop be trusted, or is he connected to this imminent disaster?We meet a truly devilish chocolatier in the character of Garibaldi Chocolati who is suspiciously blasé about the end of all chocolate. His portrayal throughout the book as a pompous nitwit makes Garibaldi a character that the reader loves to hate. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments I absolutely loved this book. Firstly, because it is so funny. I don't normally laugh out loud while reading but I did with this book. Jelly and her family are wonderfully quirky, original and hilarious. I especially liked the incompetent but loving dad. The dialogue is sharp and witty and the cast of secondary characters is pure comedy gold. Garibaldi Chocolati is a villain that even Dahl would have been proud of and indeed the book sits confidently and comfortably somewhere between Roald Dahl and David Walliams. Kids will eat this up (sorry!) because at its heart The Great Chocoplot is an adventure and mystery story full of charm and heart with the theme of family being central at all times. And it's about chocolate. What's not to love? This will help your class in recognising inverted commas and accurately inserting them when required. All passages are taken from Chapter 5 of the book.

The well-paced plot is driven by an ancient prophecy discovered on Easter Egg Island - chocolate is soon going to run out in the world! The heroine, Jelly, takes it upon herself to investigate the likelihood of a Chocopocalypse and has help from her lovely family, most importantly her quirky scientist gran. The Great Chocoplot is a fun adventure with a brilliant concept – and like the best apocalyptic fiction, it’s based on reality. There really are risks to cacao plants that could endanger the world’s supply of chocolate – I don’t want to alarm you, but mealybugs spread by ants can devastate whole crops. Jelly faces so many concerns that I whooped when she stumbled upon mindfulness. What ifs can be a plague, and when she learns to enjoy the present I mentally clapped with joy. And yet it is because she worries so much and thinks ahead that she worked out the clues to the global chocolate shortage. Let's just say I was glad there wasn't an illustration of one of Garibaldi's treasured possessons. There were a few hard truths to swallow hidden inside the story and this is the main reason why I believe the story will appeal to adults as well. For instance, Jelly comes from a family in which a parent has lost his job, which is a common occurrence nowadays. I fell in love with the subtle humor, and I appreciated that Jelly’s partner was her grandma, it was a cool idea. There is a lot of drama to follow, and the rhythm of the story unfolds at a rapid pace, so there isn’t any chance in the world to get bored. All I can say is that the story will definitely leave you craving for chocolate, especially if you give into the terrifying concept that the beloved sweet might disappear forever. Your class will identify where the apostrophes need to go within the short sentences and determine whether they have been used to show possession or for a contraction.

About Chris Callaghan

Education Shed Ltd, Severn House, Severn Bridge, Riverside North, Bewdley, Worcestershire, UK, DY12 1AB Dann sind wir bei Jelly und ihrer Familie in Mampfton, dem Zentrum der Schokoladenherstellung. Hier lebt und geht Jelly zur Schule und liebt es ihre Schoki Dokis zu essen. Denn das sind ihre Lieblinge und es sind meistens welche im Haus. Its a fun tale for all of the family. I have read it with my six year old who loved it and my 11 year old is reading it independently. This review may be a bit chaotic, sorry, I am really tired, but I do want to write a review for this book. The story follows a young girl called Jelly (real name Jennifer Welllington but people call her Jelly Welly). She lives in a town called Chompton-on-de-lyte. The town is renowned for its chocolate, in fact the whole of the town is chocolate potty! The plot is governed by an ancient prophecy discovered on Easter Island that chocolate is soon going to run out all over the world!

PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Great_Chocoplot_-_Chris_Callaghan.pdf, The_Great_Chocoplot_-_Chris_Callaghan.epubMy first time using this book. This will be a great starting point, especially with the illustrations, Thanks Buy from our bookstore and 25% of the cover price will be given to a school of your choice to buy more books. *15% of eBooks. Home > Roald Dahl, a man who knew his way round a chocolate bar, would have approved of this book. Imagine how awful it would be if the world’s supplies of chocolate were threatened by an impending chocopocalypse – it doesn’t bear thinking about, but that’s what’s facing Jelly, the young hero of this book. Chocoholics both, Jelly and her gran team up to get to the bottom of this chocopocalypse, and it seems snobby posh chocolate shop owner Garibaldi Chocolati might just have something to do with it. Inventive, original and genuinely funny with a quirky cast of characters and an internal logic all of its own, kids will gobble this up.

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 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. Your class will need to find evidence from the chapters to support the statements provided. If they can’t find any evidence they must write, ‘No evidence found.’

When some weird professor tells on the news that he discovered a prophecy that says that all chocolate in the world will run out in only a couple of days at first nobody in Chompton seems to really care because duh, they live in Chompton and there’s more than enough chocolate for everyone. Once the chapters have been read and words and meanings discussed, your class can complete our vocabulary resource. The children will use the word bank to complete the sentences. I decided to read this book as it was recommended to me by Suzanne Maguire (author of the Spellbound Chronicles) . A verb is a ‘doing’ or ‘action’ word. In the following sentences taken from Chapter 6, your class will underline a verb and then write their own sentences underneath, using the same verb.
