Bookroo's summary

In a bustling pasta factory, Fettuccine, Ramen, and Mac face a shocking truth: they're destined to be eaten. As panic ensues, this unlikely trio must unite and devise a daring escape plan. With time running out, can they outwit their fate and find freedom, or will they end up on a dinner plate? Join this hilarious adventure as they use their noodles to navigate a world where the stakes are deliciously high.

From the publisher

Join a ragtag group of pasta as they complete the greatest escape of their lives in this hilarious new book by Miranda Paul! Since the beginning of their lives (which was earlier that morning), the pasta at the factory followed the rules. They stuck to their own kind. They stayed still in their packaging. And they never spoke to humans. That is, until they discover what it really means to be pasta: they will eventually be eaten by humans! Fettuccine is scared, Ramen is outraged, and Mac is just trying to keep the peace among all the pasta. Will they be able to work together to use their noodles and concoct a great escape?
