About this title

Synopsis

On a mission to save his father from the clutches of Time, Crackling Brat undertakes a perilous journey and eludes such enemies as icy Snow Tiger, dark Night Bear, and ravenous Hunger Wolf.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Crackling Brat, a fantastical child who has power over fire, wind, thunder, and lightning, laughingly outwits three ferocious obstacles-Snow Cat, Night Bear, and Hunger Wolf-to save his father from the ravages of Time. The language is fresh, primarily due to the inventive use of metaphor. "Night Bear's fur was as dark as midnight. His eyes were star-colored and his teeth were sharper than the points of the new moon." The illustrations are impressionistic; the characters' appearances are outlandish. The book has a certain appealing joie de vivre, but the story itself is quickly forgotten.
