It was an enjoyable book to read and I would recommend it to my friends who like adventure stories.
This adventure story is set in a mysterious town called Donut Island. In the middle of the town is a massive hole showing a giant lightning strike. There is a girl called Rhubarb and a boy called Yoshi who are friends and together they write the town newspaper. The town newspaper reports all the strange things that happen in Donut Island.
I like this book because a few of the characters are funny and the illustration are really helpful; they also brought the story to life. The characters show a lot of team-work and helped each other no matter what: it is a book about friendship and bravery.
I feel as though the book is aimed at children who are around 7-8 years old because it was easy and fun to read. The bookmarks that came with it was a cool idea but sadly it ruined the pages a little bit. Overall it was an enjoyable book to read and I would recommend it to my friends who like adventure stories.
An amazing mystery! 5/5!
In this book, you will find a little boy called Melvin, who is going to live on a new island called Donut Island. He meets some new friends called Rhubarb and Yoshi. The clouds are turning purple, there's a big crack in the island, and the new toys in the local diner seem rather strange! It's up to Melvin and his friends to solve the mystery!
This book was amazing! I loved the mystery and how they solved it. I kept wondering what was going to happen and was so excited to get to the end and see what happened. I didn't want to stop reading! I can't wait to read the next book! Melvin is my favourite character because he's so happy and kind and I'd like to be his friend. I'd love to visit the Donut Diner and eat donuts!
This is a great book with lots of shocks and surprises. Also, in the end, everything makes sense. Once you start reading it you will not want to stop
This is a book about a boy called Melvin and his next-door neighbour best friend called Rhubarb, who really likes mysteries.
Melvin has always wanted to be cooler ever since he had left his old school. He sees starting at Donut Juniors School as a new start and a chance to be super cool. At Donut Juniors, Rhubarb and Melvin met the Cool Doods Gang. This gang is made up of 3, not cool people called Hector, Dirk and Marjorie. Rhubarb works on a newspaper called The Daily Donut with another of her friends called Yoshi, Melvin has recently joined them. The newspaper is all about Mysteries. It used to be a big hit when Rhubarb’s mum used to do it and school used to help to print out the copies and editing them. Now, however, school do nothing. One day, waiting at the bus stop on the way to school and advert catches their eye. ‘Donut hole monsters at donut diner on Friday’. On Friday, Melvin, Rhubarb and Yoshi go to the donut diner and were really annoyed that the monster was just a plastic ball surrounded with slime. Little did they know that there were 50 to collect and Rhubarb got the rarest one the gold one. While all this was happening Hector was already on a hunt for all of the hole monsters. When he gets all of them something bad happens. If you like the Barry loser series you’ll like this book!
This a fantastic book was written by Jim Smith. This book is part of the Super Weird Mystery Series (can't wait for the next one) full of monsters, slime, puking, slurping and bums which makes me laugh.

Melvin moves to Donut island and makes friends with Rhubard who is crazy for mysteries - and they are just about to go on one themselves. Just when they thought nothing EVER happens in their boring town. Crazy Donut hole monsters arrive.
Every page has fun pictures which for an 8-year-old like me is pretty cool. I raced through this.
It has lots of writing too which my Mum said is good because I like comics too much.
I think I'm going to have to try The Barry Loser series now.
Only thing My Mum would say is that Donut should be spelt Doughnut!
Happy reading guys.
