    About The Chocopocalypse

    Fans of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and readers of Chris Grabenstein and Wendy Mass will love is an action-packed mystery about what happens if the world is about to run out of chocolate!
     
       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.
       But when news breaks of an impending chocopocalypse, her whole world—and the world at large—is thrown into utter chaos.
       With only six days left until no more chocolate, Jelly has a sneaking suspicion that something isn’t right. She and her gran investigate, picking up on a mysterious trail of clues.
       Is it really the dreaded chocopocalypse, or is there a mastermind behind the madness?

    “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fans and mystery enthusiasts will also enjoy this chocolatey adventure.”-School Library Journal

    “[The Chocopocalypse] will likely find a place among readers who enjoy [Roald] Dahl’s humor.“-Kirkus Reviews
