Hello again, everybody! Sorry, nothing much has been happening for a while, but I’m back and ready to give you some more book advice! But before I start, I would like to let all of you know that my fourth published book, Julie The Superdog: The New Home, is now available at Barnes & Noble! I’m super excited, and for those of you who don’t know, I started a book a while ago called Julie The Superdog and it grew into a professional series for sale. If you haven’t read my previous posts, I would recommend that you go check them out later. They include a description of each book, as well as a link to the online site you can purchase them at, so be on the lookout for a post about book #4.

Writing books is hard work, and I sometimes need an extra boost to get me on track again. You know what I turn to? Chocolate! That’s one of the reasons I love the book Chocolate Challenge by Daphne Benedis-Grab. I also loved the amazing cover art. It helped to draw me in before I even read the first page.

The Chocolate Challenge is about four kids, Phoebe, Even, Gabe, and Julie. Every year, their schools hold a contest to see who can sale the most chocolate bars. These bars, known as the Fantastic Five, are described in such rich flavor. The author makes you want one right that very minute! The Sweet and Simple is just what the name suggests. Classic milk chocolate that will melt in your mouth. The Lava Bar, my personal favorite, consists of a silky caramel surrounded by more excellent chocolate, and no one could forget the S more’s Bar, marshmallow, graham crackers, and chocolate, all mixed together for pure bliss.  The Triple Crown will leave people asking for more of its rich, fudgy chocolate, and you won’t be able to pull away from the Toffee Crunch and its delicious chunks of toffee. When the challenge is over, the school that wins gets to give their money to the charity of their choice. But their is one small problem. Phoebe’s and Even’s rival school, Deerfeild, always wins due to an unfair advantage. So the two co-captains decide to make things right… by taking a big chocolate sale from the opposing school! Trouble soon breaks out as the other co-captains, Gabe and Julie, hit back at Granville hard. Before you can say, ‘The chocolate challenge has gone crazy!’ pranks are being thrown left and right! But when something disastrous happens to both teams, they have to mend their differences to save their schools from disappointment. Will they be able to succeed? Or will the chocolate challenge melt down to nothing?

This book was full of fun, creative pranks that kept me, the reader, engaged for the whole story. It has a great moral at the end where the two teams have to overcome their differences and work together to sell more chocolate bars than ever in history. But before I go, leave a comment down below letting me know which bar sounds like it would be your favorite, and I’ll do the same! If you want, add a chocolate bar emoji for a finishing touch! I’ll write another time! Bye!
