Unlucky Charms (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Scott, short for Scottish Play Doe, his father John Doe, stage name Reggie Dwight, his sister and friends, which consist of a leprechaun, a pooka, a pixie prince, time traveler Merle Lynn, and a fire-breathing finch fight valiantly against the forces of the Good and Harmless Freeman of America, agents of the evil Goodco Cereal Company, and the equally evil Queen Nimue to prevent a hostile fairy takeover of the earth using rifts in the time-space continuum and children brainwashed from eating Puftees™ or Peanut Butter Clobbers™ for breakfast. The action picks right up where Cold Cereal leaves off, so it could be hard for a reader to keep up with the plot if they have not read the first book in the series. That said, this is more action-packed, very funny fantasy fiction from Rex. I read "Cold Cereal", which is the first book of this saga about 1 year ago. So when I saw the "Unlucky Charms" was the second book, I immediately borrowed it. I kind of forgot what happened in the first book so I was kind of mixed up as to who the characters where and how they were related. I think that Adam Rex assumed a lot in his writing that the readers remembered or even read the first book. The main character, Scott Doe and his sister Polly were fed a milk product that is supposed to make you smart. Nimue which is a fairy runs a cereal company called Goodco. She wants to take over the world by making children her soldiers in her army. In this book, the Queen of England is suspected of being kidnapped by these heroines and replaced by goblins. Its up to Scott and the gang to save the queen and hopefully clear up the reputation of their father, John who is seen punching the queen in the face. There was only one part that I laughed out loud. There is a fight scene with hairy men and John. Its hilarious. That was all I liked about the book. It didn't seem like anything was happening that I cared about.

What do You think about Unlucky Charms (2013)?

Book two in the Cold Cereal Saga, as enjoyable as the first and I can't wait to read the third!

This was not as good as the first one. Didn't seem as original.
