It does have a lot of that same vibe! His other series, the Magic Shop series, is the classic “The Devil sells you a cursed object” trope, but a lot of fun. Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, was another one that I loved a lot as a kid
Shoot, what was the book series about finding an alien in your cereal? It was called something like “there’s an alien in my cereal!” No! That’s somehow unrelated. I was thinking of Aliens for Breakfast by Jonathan Etra and Stephanie Spinner:
Image: A children’s book cover with cute cartoon art of a boy with glasses looking surprised by a tiny insectile being standing on his box of Alien Crisp cereal. Above the title (Aliens for Breakfast) is the smaller text “Richard doesn’t know it yet, but he has only five days to save the world!”
In the top-right corner is a logo that reads A Stepping Stone Book, and in the bottom-right corner is the two authors’ names, and “Illustrated by Steve Björkman”.
It looks very Goosebump-y.
