About the Book
Robert Montasio did not think his day could get any worse until his sister drinks a bizarre soda that causes her to start shrinking. Robert's only hope is a mysterious organization known as the Secret Cheese Syndicate. Unfortunately, they cannot help without a special cheese that has been lost for years. Now, with a tiny little sister in his pocket, Robert has to travel the world to find the Mystic Cheese of Eliki and, perhaps, discover secrets from his family's past.
Reviews
“The Secrets of the Cheese Syndicate is a wild ride through a cheesy world mixed with mythology and adventure. A perfect book for boys–it reminds me a bit of M.T. Anderson’s work. … This is a terrific book for middle-grade kids, especially boys, although girls will enjoy it, too! It is a perfect read-aloud book for elementary classrooms.”
— Margo Dill

“Other adults that I have shown this book to have declared that they wish they could be a member of the Secret Cheese Syndicate.“

“It was hard for me to grasp the concept of Donna St. Cyr’s The Secrets of the Cheese Syndicate until I picked up the book - and then I did not want to put it down. … I enjoyed being swept up in the cheese syndicate world, and I am excited to share the book with my students.”
— Mrs. V Reviews
“It’s a fun book, once the cheese is swallowed, as it were. It’s not one I’d necessarily be quick to press into the hands of an adult reader, but for a nine or ten-year old (especially one who has an interest in Greek mythological creatures), it might very well strike a chord. The language is straightforward, the adventure episodic (which I think is helpful for readers that age who still don’t have tons of confidence), and the monster encounters are exciting.”
— Charlotte’s Library
“Secrets of the Cheese Syndicate has a lot going for it: fast-paced action, very believable relationships, good humor which makes the story remarkably readable. Fans of Percy Jackson will doubtless enjoy the references to mythology and the non-stop action plot.”
— The Children’s Book Reporter
