Wonderlit Review

Kevin Sherry's "Attack of the Kraken" plunges readers into an exciting underwater mystery led by the unlikely hero, Blizz Richards, a yeti cryptozoologist. Blizz and his quirky team are summoned to the mythical city of Atlantis to deal with a kraken that is wreaking havoc. However, Blizz quickly senses that the merfolk are withholding crucial information, turning a monster hunt into a detective mission to uncover the real cause of the kraken's aggression. The book handles themes of deception and truth-seeking in a light, age-appropriate manner, focusing on the adventure of investigation rather than heavy moralizing. The emotional arc is one of curious discovery, moving from an initial sense of peril to a satisfying resolution as the truth is revealed. This book is ideal for children aged 6-10 who enjoy fast-paced adventure, mythical creatures, and a touch of humor. Parents will find it an excellent choice when their child is looking for an engaging chapter book to read independently or as an exciting read-aloud. No specific parent preparation is needed, as any peril or mild deception is handled with a light touch. Younger children (4-6) will be captivated by the imaginative setting and creatures during a read-aloud, while older children will appreciate the mystery and the process of Blizz's investigation. The unique premise of a yeti cryptozoologist in Atlantis, combined with Sherry's characteristic blend of humor and adventure, sets this book apart from other monster or mystery stories for this age group.
