Some legends are born,
others are drawn…
Drawing feels like magic to Peanut Jones, but art can't fix her problems. Her dad has gone missing, and she's stuck in a boring new school. Until the day she finds a unique pencil turbo-charged with special powers. Suddenly she's pulled into a world packed with more colour, creativity, excitement and danger than she could ever have imagined. And maybe, just maybe, she might find out what happened to her dad.
The first title in a brand new adventure series for boys and girls of 8+. Fizzing with magic, danger, friendship and art, this exciting, fun, middle-grade debut is from the bestselling and record-breaking author and illustrator behind #DrawWithRob.
