Thanks you Net gallery fr allowing me to read this book.

Great for children aged 6-8 years old.

Really enjoyable story of a school trip on the sleeper train which goes bit wrong. with money tickets and big bags of crisps going missing. The gang set out to try and solve the mystery of who the hooded figure is they see on the platform. Along. the way different events get them seeing the hooded figure which disappers fast. Buy the end of the they have worked out who the figure is and why they were eating all the big bag crisps.

Another hilarious addition to this amazing series. I laughed out loud all the way through as this is exactly what I could imagine happening on a school trip! My class will love it. The illustrations were super and complemented the story perfectly.

Read this with my 11 and 8 year old. They giggled the whole way through.
We're huge fans of Pamela Butchart so were delighted to receive an early copy of the Great Crisp Robbery. A brilliant story, with excellent illustrations.

I have found Pamela Butchart's Baby Aliens series a fantastic thing for reluctant readers. The books mice with such pace and the children are so engaged that they hardly realise they're reading.

The latest instalment, The Great Crisp Robbery, is as hilarious and engaging as ever. I know the children will love it,

Pamela Butchart never fails to hit the right note and this is another cracker. I recommend this series to so many parents; it has the perfect mix of accessible writing for newly independent readers to enjoy on their own and the occasional joke dropped in for parents who are reading aloud. Butchart never talks down to her readers or layers in jokes that will go over their head. She is pitch perfect in writing kids being kids, showing their image sense of fun and justice and how their imaginations fly on everyday occurrences.
Flintham’s illustrations are the perfect match to the humour and absolutely bring the characters and the humour to life.
Perfect for fun loving mystery fans.

These stories are always so full of fun. I would be MOST UPSET if someone stole my crisps… especially on a train! But when more than crisps go missing it’s up to the crew to solve the mystery! This had me chuckling away at times, and I love the illustrations!

Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this ebook in exchange for a review.

My daughter, aged 9 and I discovered the Baby Aliens Series last year when her teacher read her the third in the series. That seemed crazy to me so I got her all the other books and she listened to them on audible and followed along in paperback. I’ve found that to be a great way to improve her reading and her engagement in books.

She loved them (and so did I to be fair.) they’re so funny that I spend my time cackling away and she can’t get enough of them. The stories follow Izzy and her friends, Zach, Jodie and Maisie and their delightful and deadly imaginations. The simplest explanation is never the reason something happens as far as these kids are concerned. No, it must be a monster or a curse or an alien. And whilst their imaginations lead them astray, their logic is always perfect. Misguided but brilliant.

The Great Crisp Robbery is no exception to this dynamic. This time the four kids and Gary Petrie (with his silky dressing gown) are on a school trip, on the sleeper train to London. That caught my daughter’s interest straight away - the fun of being away from home, in bunk beds with friends was her idea of heaven. But of course, there’s something afoot - a mysterious hooded figure has been seen on the platform and they just know that it’s a train robber because Zach knows all about them.

So ensues a hilarious adventure where the kids get more and more suspicious and try to foil the robbers’ plot. You know it’s going to turn out to be something completely normal and fine but the hilarious twists and turns, their crazy assumptions and dangerous actions keep you on the edge of your seat!

Every time I finished a chapter I was begged for just one more. And when we read the climax she was rolling around on the bed in excitement. She joined in crying about poor Gary’s Tescos Finest Crisps and laughing her head off. Not the kind of book that induces sleep - can you tell?

I loved it too, I got breathless with excitement at the same times she did. Although, I am very concerned about how often Maisie faints! Totally recommended.

When I asked her how many stars to give it she said, can I give it ten? So there you have it. A ten out of five star rating!

The Great Crisp Robbery is a perfect summer read for children aged 7+.
Although this book is marketed for 7-9 years, older children can enjoy this due to its humorous tone, adventure, and length.
The story is about primary school children Izzy and her friends. They go on a school trip and things start to go wrong. They need to discover who is behind all the mess and craze. The twist is funny and the font and the overall design are lovely as in the other books in the series.
I highly recommend this book and all the other books in the series.
