The Imp That Ate My Homework

88 pp. | HarperCollins | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-06-027688-6 | Library ISBN 0-06-027689-4
(2) 4-6 Based on a malevolent trickster from Chinese folklore, the imp in this story pops up in present-day San Francisco to plague young Jim. As Jim and Grandpop (known as the meanest man in Chinatown) plot to outsmart and overcome the imp, the two achieve a new relationship that bodes well for the future. Grandpop emerges as a complex character with credible human dimensions as well as (perhaps) mythic stature.
