Publishers Weekly BookLife

“In this heroic and goofily inventive children's adventure, an unlikely hero takes center stage …..This fast-paced middle grade read is full of colorful characters ….What stands out most here is the bumper crop of truly funny characters, who parody both cereals and superhero narratives—and who ultimately prove bold and resourceful in their quest to "save the children of the world” from a future of boring breakfast. Young readers who love imaginative comedy will cheer on this story packed with action (and fiber). Takeaway: Wildly playful story of super-heroic cereals.”

The Children's Book Review

“Readers will surely enjoy spotting the humorous adaptations of popular superhero tropes and characters that fill each page of the story … Although the story is filled with tongue-in-cheek humor, the narrator also points out important life lessons about bullying, emotions, teamwork, and acceptance to readers. The imperfect characters are quirky and fun, brought to life by the child-like digital artwork that shows their cereal bodies clad in colorful superhero costumes. Connor the Cornflake is a light-heartedly instructive adventure for young superhero fans.”

Readers' Favorite by Astrid Iustulin

“I liked The Adventures of Connor and Sparky precisely because it shows how creative a child's imagination can be. David Armitage is very good at narrating the space adventure of our hero and his dog. Young readers will enjoy spending time with them and following their space race championship with bated breath. I believe that many children will be inspired by the sweet and sincere friendship between the young boy and his dog and that this will remind them of the importance of pets in their lives. This book has a lot to offer…”
