Description
Superstar author & illustrator Rob Biddulph dazzles in Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City, the first title in a brand new adventure series for boys and girls ages 8 and up.
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.
Filled with magic, danger, friendship and art, Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City is a funny and exciting middle grade debut from the bestselling creative genius behind #DrawWithRob.
Rob Biddulph is an award-winning author-illustrator, and was the official World Book Day Illustrator for 2019, 2020 and 2021. He is the author of many highly acclaimed picture books, including Blown Away, GRRRRR!, Odd Dog Out, Sunk, Kevin, Show and Tell, Dog Gone and the Dinosaur Juniors series. Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City is his fiction debut and the first title in a major new series.
In March 2020, he started #DrawWithRob, a series of twice-weekly draw-along videos designed to help parents whose children were forced to stay home from school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. #DrawWithRob became an internet sensation, garnering national and international media coverage, and has been used as a learning resource by thousands of families across the globe. On May 21, 2020 Rob broke the Guinness World Record for the largest ever online art class when 45,611 people tuned in to his live #DrawWithRob YouTube class.
Before he became a full-time author-illustrator Rob was the art director of the Observer Magazine, NME, Uncut, SKY and Just Seventeen. He lives in London, England, with his wife and three daughters and hasn't given up hope that, maybe, one of them will go to an Arsenal match with him one day.

A beautifully imagined MG book. Peanut Jones is having a tough time, but that all changes when she finds a magic pencil. This book was a pleasure to read and I loved the whole design of the book and the artwork throughout.
I received a free copy from NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
