Do you like Chocolate? Well John Midas does, he will eat it any hour of the day even when he is not suppose to. One day after finding a chocolate coin with his initials on it, he wanders into a candy store. He buys some special chocolate. He eats the chocolate and then everything he touches turns to chocolate. That’s when all his troubles begin.
I felt good as I read this book because it’s very funny how John reacts. I liked John’s mother because she is kind and nice. I liked this book a lot, especially when he goes bobbing apples at his friend Susan’s birthday party because it’s funny.
I think others should read this book because it’s outstanding and it may connect to you or anyone. I think readers who like chocolate should read this book. I think it would interest readers that everything started with a piece of chocolate. I give this book 5 stars because it teaches you to be careful what you wish for. So run along, go read this book or go buy a piece of chocolate.
