Cold Cereal

This was so much fun to listen to! Great magical creature voices. The story was so, so weird and fun, too. I love a good middle-grade sendup of the Freemasons. Who doesn't?

SO much wordplay and reference and whatnot. It was a delight. A good readalike for kids (and adults) who like Lemony Snicket. Some of the weird references might go over kids' heads, but I think it's the kind of thing where at some point when they're older, they'll look back and have a brief flashback to Cold Cereal and be like, wow, what a weirdly clever book I read when I was a kid.

An evil cereal company is taking magic from magical creatures that it bases its mascots off of is such an interesting concept. While I was on speech team many of the OC (orginal comedies) competitors really like to perform about cereal mascots too. The things I love about Adam Rex is his follow through. You can read something and it will catch up with you later, it is such a unique feeling almost like deja vu.
