What to Expect: Food, healthy eating, adventure, humor, friendship.
In this humor-filled adventure, a snack-loving hero will stand up for the right to eat tasty snacks against the chaos of food cults, the power of healthy eating regimes, and the treachery of power-hungry greens.
Once Monica Mango was Obesseus’ best friend—his burping companion and his favorite snack buddy. Then … she got BLENDED. Now Monica and her Juice Regime want to get rid of everything Obesseus loves—fried snacks, sauces, sugar, and even solid foods! Obesseus can’t understand what has happened to her, but he is angry and determined to stop her from detoxifying Snackland. To help him, he’s got some talented friends and the perfect martial art: Slam-Fu. He’ll face formidable enemies, from Commander Portion-Control to the lettuce-wrapped Romaine Ripper—and the dreaded Veggie King, Espearagas, who will usher in the biggest food fight Snackland has ever seen.
As the main character, Obesseus himself is simple, uncomplicated, and single-minded, making him the ideal anti-hero for this comedy quest. With a cast of supporting characters that draws heavily on popular food stereotypes and is filled to bursting with food-related puns, the story reminds readers that food and healthy eating are never as simple as they seem on the surface. And with the end of the war in the final chapter, readers are reminded of the importance of balance in anything food-related.
Funny and thought-provoking, this is a story that sparks conversations about healthy eating—especially for those who enjoy a lot of puns.
