Momotaro series.
Illustrated by
Choong Yoon.
Xander (Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters) is adjusting to the return of his mother, a fairy. His fears of the oni are causing him nightmares, and his grandmother gives him a special baku charm--which brings its own dangers. Dilloway successfully makes Japanese folklore accessible to young adventure fans. Occasional creepy, atmospheric illustrations are interspersed.
