The story of one boy and his brilliant burgers!
Benny Burns spends every weekend helping his dad by working at their
burger van, parked outside the local football ground. And when Benny
finds his grandfather’s old recipe book and begins following its
instructions, he starts cooking INCREDIBLE food – so good, in fact,
that he attracts the unwanted attention of fast food giant Bonkers
Burgers! and its CEO, Bodley Bonkers.
To Bodley, Benny and his burgers are a threat that must be eliminated…
by any means necessary.
And so, along with his dad and his two best friends, Jasper and Mina,
Benny must find a way to defeat Bonkers Burgers, help rescue his dad’s
business, and share his passion for cooking with the world – a mission
that leads to him competing with the world’s greatest chef to cook the
best burger.

jacket and sets off on his route. Every day, the man with the big
red tie gets on at the roundabout, the lady with the pram gets on
at the library and the noisy children get on at Clover Drive. But
what if one day the driver turned down a new and exciting road, and
picked up new and exciting people? So many people that the bus
simply wouldn't be big enough? Well, there would only be one
solution . . . Join the exciting bus journey as it travels anywhere
and everywhere, growing taller and taller with every adventure!
