In Obesseus World War Food by D.T. Tucker, Obesseus is pulled into an escalating food war when General Walter Walnut warns that the Salad Sector has unleashed the Broccoli Beasts. With his Slam-Fu headband, Obesseus sets out across the buffet lands, clashing with restless vegetables and unpredictable fruit leaders. Zach the Zucchini, Evelyn Eggplant, and Conflicted Tomato are in the mix, alongside and sometimes on the wrong side of Grant the Grapefruit and Councilman BlackBerry Smalls. Meanwhile, Julian Jellybean rises as a manipulative force, spreading corruption and summoning strange armies, from Muffin Ninjas to shrimp legions, to destabilize the Snacklands. As Obesseus battles breakfast titans, corrupted vegetables, and dessert deities, he must harness Slam-Fu power to safeguard the Buffet Gate from total takeover.
D.T. Tucker’s Slam-Fu series takes a leap forward in Obesseus World War Food, delivering a riot of imagination and action that makes the Snacklands feel larger, stranger, and more entertaining than anywhere else I've been lately. Tucker mixes wild humor and inventive battles, creating a story that is both outrageous and surprisingly cohesive. The inventive food-based characters, from Sinister Shrimp’s Shrimp Scourge and Clammandos to the antics of the Citrus Siblings, are written with such panache that it's impossible not to laugh. Obesseus himself is an unexpectedly endearing fighter, his Slam-Fu techniques bringing both excitement and comedy to every showdown. The introduction of artifacts like the Biscuit of Balance gives a little bit of myth to the book's momentum. Readers who love unpredictable worlds and unique satire will find this an absolute delight. My kids and I all adored it.
