Unlucky Charms

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.

• Portal Fantasy Adventure: Join Scott and his friends as they journey through a time-space rift to a magical other-England to rescue royalty.
• Modern-Day Mythology: Get ready for a hilarious mash-up of myth and modern life, where Merlin is a time-traveling scientist and the Queen of England has been replaced by goblins.
• An Evil Corporation (With Cereal): The villain isn’t a dark lord—it’s the Goodco Cereal Company, a diabolical corporation using magical breakfast cereal to take over the world.
• Unlikely Heroes: A part-fairy kid, a super-smart girl, a tiny pixie prince, and a time-traveling Merlin must team up to stop an invasion of elves, brownies, and magical beasts.
