Favorite Book Fridays: Cold Cereal

Scott Doe and his mom and sister just recently moved to Goodborough where his mom is a scientist at Goodco, the biggest cereal maker around. Scott gets a lot of migraines, and when he gets migraines, he sees things that aren't there. Things like a man with a rabbit's head, a unicat (for those of you who don't know, a unicat is just like a unicorn, but it's a cat), and a leprechaun. Is he really seeing things, or maybe just seeing things that others can't see?

Long-time Goodborough residents and twins Erno and Emily Lutz are also connected to Goodco in a roundabout way (I won't tell you how, you'll find out at the end of the book). They live with their foster father, Mr. Wilson, who always has a puzzle for them to solve, just like any other family, right?

So anyway, Scott, Emily and Erno become fast friends and discover that all is not as it seems with Goodco.

As you will find out on the book jacket, readers will get 75% of their Recommended Daily Allowance of Adventure, 40% Diabolical Schemes, 20% Legend, and 93% Humor. If you like the mythology in the Percy Jackson books, then you are sure to like the Arthurian legend in Cold Cereal, by Adam Rex.
