Chocolate Chocolate Moons
Author: Jackie Kingon

Chocolate Chocolate Moons is a humorous futuristic mystery. 3Book Reviews below. KIRKUS REVIEW Molly Marbles, an overweight 24th-century Earth girl, wrote ?The Joy of Salami,? an essay that won her a spot at a university on the moon. Later, after marriage and twin girls, Molly lives on Mars. After starting a new job as a security guard at the Cu... more »linary Institute, she investigates a mystery: People are ending up poisoned after eating her favorite snack food, Chocolate Moons. Kingon invents a colorful, often outrageous cast: Molly?s first love, Drew, who has an affair with CC, otherwise known as Colorful Copies; Cortland Summers, Molly?s husband and an aspiring rock legend; and Rocket, a sleazy fellow looking to make lots of money by any means necessary; and other memorable characters. The author builds a weird, hilarious universe full of witty language and unique detail. In the future, for example, Hallmark-card artwork is expensive and coveted, Uranus is home to toy factories and Mars has cities named New Chicago and Pharaoh City. Kingon?s prose is often as snappy as her settings; when Molly discovers Drew?s affair she proclaims, ?Suddenly I feel like a pizza cut into more than eight slices. ? The story does wrap up with a satisfying conclusion. Delightful. CLARION REVIEW HUMOR Chocolate Chocolate Moons Jackie Kingon Molly Summers is a gal who loves her chocolate. While working as a security guard at a factory where a particular candy is poisoned, the lead investigator points out that Molly had easy access to commit the crime. ?Easy access but no motive,? she tells him. ?I consider Godiva and Hershey saints and chocolate to be the food of the gods.? Welcome to the twenty-fourth century, when overweight earthlings can travel to the moon and live in an atmosphere where they weigh nearly five times less than their actual weight. At first, it is heaven for the Neil Armstrong University-bound Molly and her heavyset boyfriend, Drew, but they soon break up when another girl comes between them. Life goes on for Molly, and when readers meet up with her again she is married, the mother of twin fifteen-year-old daughters, and working security for the Culinary Institute of Mars, where the big question of the novel arises: why would someone want to sabotage the popular candy Chocolate Moons? With the help of her Martian best friend, Jersey, and Jersey?s husband?the half-human, half-machine, Trenton?Molly tries to solve the mystery. Those who like unusual stories served with a dose of humor will enjoy Molly?s out-of-this-world adventure. Robin Farrell Edmunds MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW Every taste of sweetness might have a bit of poison behind it. "Chocolate Chocolate Moons" is a novel following larger Molly Marbles as she's presented with an opportunity to break from her cycle of dieting with a trip to the moon where her weight is suddenly much less of concern, and when her favorite snack food turns out to have a hidden twist, Molly has more on her plate than even she can handle. "Chocolate Chocolate Moons" is a humorous romp, sure to please many a reader. Micah Andrew Reviewer
