"Stays Crunchy In Milk is that rare story with both heart and substance. Adam Knave deftly reexamines the pop cultural elements of his childhood then reshapes them into wondrous things both familiar and new. Knave’s engrossing story transforms his love for his early memories into an exciting adventure novel. Its narrative swept me right along. I really cared about what happened next." ~ Gary Wolf, creator of Roger Rabbit
Stays Crunchy in Milk is a pop culture road trip novel that winds its way through the 80s to discuss friendship, the concept of home and what it means to grow up. Through familiar lands to places startling and unknown – across looming castles, endless battlefields and simple brick roads – three friends will hunt and search and scour every inch for the missing fourth. Along the way they’ll have to rely on a whole lot of luck and a little bit of charm, but mostly each other.
A fairy tale for the super-sugar generation, Stays Crunchy in Milk is a road novel packed with 100% of your recommended daily allowance of essential action and adventure.
