Nina Peanut is Amazing by Sarah Bowie


Nina Peanut – super-star in the making, frozen pizza chef, creative genius, owner of the world’s stinkiest cat. The funniest new friend for all kids, everywhere. 

Nina Peanut creates amazing videos – so why is it only her nan and best friend Brian who watch them? Surely everyone should be interested in her SERIOUS and NOT-STUPID videos about potatoes with faces? Nina dreams about being as popular as class queen bee Megan Dunne, who films NOT AMAZING AT ALL content of her pampered dog, Princess Trixie Bell. So when Nina’s stinky cat Les wanders into one of Megan’s videos by accident, and goes viral, Nina and Les are suddenly internet famous! But is overnight stardom as wonderful as Nina always imagined it would be?


I love these new graphic novels. They're so brilliant for reluctant readers or kids who just want something a bit more fun. Nina Peanut is a fantastic example, with little jokes hidden in the illustrations and a fun story as well.

The story will be familiar to any young child, maybe not in the specifics but in general; everyone had someone they didn't like in school, everyone found that friend groups moved and shifted, everyone accidentally fought and made up with their friends. The humour is brilliant too, I was laughing along as I read.

This is a great story for young children, hopefully the start of a wonderful new series. I can't wait to read more!
