For fans of Artemis Fowl and Percy Jackson & the Olympians comes the second book in Adam Rex's acclaimed Cold Cereal Saga, about three kids who must save the world from the diabolical schemes of an evil breakfast company.
Scottish Play Doe and his friends may have escaped from the clutches of the evil Nimue, but they're not out of the woods just yet.
The Goodco Cereal Company's quest to take over the world is quickly gaining momentum: it has already started to sell cereals containing the magical chemical Intellijuice and, what's worse, has kidnapped one of the world's most important public figures, the Queen of England, and replaced her with goblin impersonators.
When Scott and the others learn that Goodco is holding the real queen captive in a magical other-England, they decide to pass through a rift in the time-space continuum and rescue her—and hopefully convince the faeries to stop the invasion that will bring about the end of the world as they know it.

THIS IS SO WEIRD, I LOVE IT.I loved the audiobook of [b:Cold Cereal 11595220 Cold Cereal Adam Rex https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1321973206s/11595220.jpg 16537151] but apparently the rest of the trilogy hasn't been recorded, so I read the print copy. Which was cool too, because it has illustrations! (Illustrations of awesome black pixies with Afros!) Also one of the discs of the audiobook was jacked up so reading this made me realize that I had missed some fairly significant plot twists, but I felt like I was able to get up to speed pretty quickly. I think these books would make fun family read-alouds because there are a lot of references that will probably fly over a lot of kids' heads, such as the introduction of Sir Richard Starkey of the Quarrymen, as a character. But I also think they're fun enough that kids will dig them even if they don't get everything. (And then maybe one day when they're older they'll realize, oh, I read Beatles RPF fanfiction when I was a kid, weird.)
