Youth Fiction Review: Cold Cereal by Adam Rex

Posted by: TracieP | Posted on: May 07 2012

Sixth-grader Scott and his new friends--super-smart twins Erno and Emily Utz--team up to save the world from an evil cereal company in this "magically delicious" blend of fantasy, adventure, and humor. Rex weaves together a cast of memorable creatures (including a surly leprechaun in a red track suit and a stuttering pooka) and figures from Arthurian legend into a madcap novel that will please fans of the Percy Jackson series. Cold Cereal is a fresh find for grades 4-8, complete with black-and-white illustrations.
