“In six days there will be no more chocolate in the world … ever!”

That’s how the story starts. The story of The Chocopocalypse!!!!
—
The Great Chocoplot is an Award-Winning and No.1 Best-Selling children’s story about a global chocolate crisis that has been translated into several languages.
Chocolate! Chuckles! Mystery! A lip-licking treat where reading meets chocolate (the perfect combo). What if chocolate vanished – forever? Wouldn’t that be awful? Especially for Jelly and her family. They live in Chompton-on-de-Lyte, home of the famous Blocka Choca bars. If this disaster happens, it’s not just people’s taste buds that will suffer, it’s local families and jobs. But Jelly is suspicious. Soon a trail of clues leads her to a posh chocolate shop nearby. The pompous owner, seems weirdly smug despite his failing business. Is the Chocopocalypse really coming – or is there a chocoplot afoot?

Read All About it!
If you want to read the first chapter of The Great Chocoplot click here and see if it tingles your appetite for more!!
For a special extra bonus, there is a deleted chapter here. It was a scene removed during the final stages of editing and it was taken out purely to keep the word count down. It’s a bit of fun and happens between Chapters 11 & 12 where Jelly and Gran experience some of the crazy rioting that happens because of the imminent Chocopocalypse. But it’s best if you don’t read it without reading the rest of the story first!!
The UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Slovakia, Romania, The Czech Republic, Germany and The United States of America. It is soon to arrive in Iran!!
