That was the premise, but when I first told people about this new adventure by Dr. Sam and J.L. McCreedy, the main question I was asked was:

“What?”

But that befuddlement also gave me a spark of hope, because I knew EscapePeas must be original enough to engender such a response.

Thankfully, the wonderful folks at Reading With Your Kids recognize something special in EscapePeas and even wrote an amazing review which can be found here:

EscapePeas – A Delightfully Silly Adventure That Teaches Children the Power of Persistence

And also? During this same time frame, EscapePeas received a Purple Dragonfly Award from Story Monsters!

So here is to being strange and wonderfully weird!
