The Great Crisp Robbery

I knew from the first page that I wouldn’t be able to put the book down, it had me hooked!

The story is about Izzy, Zach, Maisie and Jodi going on a school trip on an overnight sleeper train but this is no ordinary school trip. Some mysterious things are happening onboard the train. Will the children be able to find out who stole Gary Petrie’s Tesco’s Finest Crisps and who is the hooded figure?

I knew from the first page that I wouldn’t be able to put the book down, it had me hooked! Even after reading it once, I could read it again and again. I loved all the characters, especially Maisie, who faints at anything. This book is hilariously funny and will keep you hooked too.

I would recommend this book to adults and children who like to laugh a lot. And anyone who doesn’t like ‘wordie’ books as this book has great evenly placed illustrations throughout.

If I could give a 10 star rating, I would!

A really fun mystery and adventure book!

Izzy and her friends go on the sleeper train overnight and someone has stolen their spending money, and even worse they have stolen her friend Gary's Tesco Finest crisps! There is a hooded figure on board and Izzy and her friends need to solve the mystery!
My favourite bit was when Gary says "Oh no! My Tesco Finest crisps!" because it was really funny.
I really like mystery books, especially when the children have to fathom it out. All the characters were funny and I could imagine me and my friends being like them. I liked the illustrations and the way the writing changed. I think loads of people would enjoy reading this book.

I couldn’t put the book down.

The characters are Zack, Maisie, Gary, Izzy Miss Jones. Miss Yu.

Izzy and her friends went on a train that you sleep on to London.
Izzy thinks she saw a hooded figure outside the train.
Suddenly there was a loud crash.
They all went to investigate,
It was very exciting and gets very mixed up.
It was such an adventure.
I couldn’t put the book down.

A good book to read but quite long. It is all about the mystery of who stole the money and crisps. The children are like detectives!

I liked this book and the characters and they go on a fun adventure on a train. I did think this book was a bit long and it did feel like it took me a while to finish it. I like the hooded figure and it was fun trying to guess who it was. The ending is really good and it is good book with great pictures.
