Beware the trickster Yokai of ancient Japanese mythology. In these contemporary, original stories, young narrators must outfox the supernatural shapeshifters. Today's youth have grown up with anime and manga. Some will immediately know what Yokai are, and many others will have some idea about the creatures of Japanese folklore, which will make this title accessible but exotic. D'Onofrio's fresh interpretation of the creatures puts an international spin on the traditional Japanese genre, making the demons less cutesy and a little more frightening. This book will stand out next to other Yokai books. Cross-over potential with adults who are fans of Japanese anime and culture. Davisson has built a strong following with Yurei (Chin Music Press) and his translations of classic Japanese manga for Drawn & Quarterly and other publishers.
