Many things need defeating in the closing volume of the entertaining Cold Cereal Saga (e.g., evil fairies, pink dragons), but boredom is not one of them! Shout-outs to both traditional literature and the current zeitgeist abound and are given a wry spin as the many characters continue their quest to rescue relatives from Pretannica, prevent the destruction of multiple worlds, and seal the fate of the evil Goodco Cereal Company. Enhanced with Rex's occasional drawings, this combination of high fantasy and pop culture closes with another funny and fantastic (and occasionally dense) adventure. Fans will be disappointed to see it all end.

Scott, Polly, Emily, and Erno, together with a large supporting cast, rescue the miniaturized Queen of England and quell a fairy invasion by killing the dragon Saxbriton and healing the rift between the worlds. The superabundance of characters is hard to keep track of, but for readers following the Arthurian-reimagining trilogy, action, magic, and humor combine for a whiz-bang conclusion.

Gr 5-8 With the real world facing an imminent invasion from Pretannica, the land of fairies, pixies, and other magical creatures, Scott Doe, along with his sister, father, and their friends, must find a way to defeat the plans of the evil fairy Nimue. A large pink dragon, pixie jinxes, minature queens, and plenty of snarky comments take readers on an entertaining ride. Slapstick moments and humorous exchanges among characters help balance more intense scenes. Fans of the previous books will appreciate this fun and wacky conclusion to the trilogy.
