Minions: Long Live King Bob!

This chapter book is a storybook adaptation of the popular Minions feature film, perfect for young fans aged 4-11. It chronicles the Minions' evolution and their perpetual, often comical, search for a truly evil master. When they fall into a deep depression without a villain to serve, Kevin, Stuart, and Bob embark on an epic adventure from Antarctica to New York City and mod London, eventually encountering the stylish super-villain Scarlet Overkill. The book is filled with the signature Minions humor, slapstick antics, and a heartwarming (if misguided) sense of loyalty and teamwork, making it a fun and engaging read for early elementary children.

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the '60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination's Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film. A storybook based on the new feature film!
