It’s that day! Stays Crunchy in Milk is out on Amazon (or bn.com, etc) and I am as happy as a clam. I don’t even know how happy clams are, in general, but I hear it is fairly significant on the “how happy are you” scale.
Anyway! Stays Crunchy in Milk is out! You can buy it, if you didn’t pre-order it! And for the record, yes we planned to get the pre-orders in hands before the book hit sale everywhere but fate (i.e. – printers) stood in our way. The paper back pre-orders are out and should get there this week, hard covers I still don’t have so I can’t sign so they can’t be sent. I know, and I’m sorry.
But! Stays Crunchy in Milk is out! Click the book’s title or cover anywhere in this post to go and buy it!

They were four: Wereberry the strawberry werewolf, Choco-Ra the chocolate mummy, The Creature From the Fruit Lagoon (his friends call him “T.C.”), and Cherrygeist the… well she was a ghost. At least, until she wasn’t. One day, she wasn’t there at all. And then they were three.
Three friends who have sworn to search for her to the ends of the world and beyond – to find and save her.
Through familiar lands to places startling and unknown – across looming castles, endless battlefields and simple brick roads – these three friends will hunt and search and scour every inch. 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. And it’s a delicious part of a nutritious breakfast.

This is my kind of book! 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. Two thumbs up from me. Four paws up from Roger Rabbit. — Gary K. Wolf, Creator of Roger Rabbit
An imaginative work that uses pop culture icons in a highly entertaining way. A fine example that fun stories need not fit into one specific genre. — Alan Kistler, Comic Book Historian, MTV.COM
In Crunchy, Adam Knave hits a unique yet wholly familiar vein that is both hilarious and nostalgic. An outstanding work of pure imagination, the story will make you laugh until your sides hurt. The characters are simply brilliant – truly original yet sprinkled with just enough retro charm to make them seem like people (or creatures) you’ve know all your life. This is one book you don’t want to miss. — Byron Starr, author of Ace Hawkins and the Wrath of Santa Claus and Doppelganger
There exists a world that we all know and love, yet have never truly seen before. Adam gives a first glimpse of this fantastic land full of familiar characters and opens the door wide for everyone to join along for fun and adventure! — Chris Giarrusso, author/illustrator of G-MAN and MINI MARVEL

If you have a review of the book, please, put it up and let me know where it is (and out it on Amazon)! If you know anyone who might want to read the book, steer them to it. It’s pop culture. It’s me being very strange, and often about as straight faced as I am here when I discuss the 80s.
So please, spread the word as much as you can. Stays Crunchy in Milk is out!
