This review is from: Bootleg (Paperback)

This book is so good! I can't believe there weren't any other reviews. It's wonderfully gripping and exciting.
It's about two boys who live in a world where chocolate is banned. Their love of sweets leads them to make it illegally, but that can't last for long, because the chocolate police is on their trail!
This book made me laugh out loud, but it was especially good because there are grown-up ideas about the world we live in.
The whole family will enjoy it!
