Gr 1–3—Yeti Blizz Richards transports his crew to the lost city of Atlantis where a kraken is causing trouble. All is not well in the depths of the ocean where the Mayor of Atlantis will stop at nothing to mine power crystals for his city. The plot speeds along haphazardly with big doses of humor, especially in the plentiful cartoon illustrations. Hand this series to kids who dig the wacky, cartoony humor of Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" series.
Blizz the yeti and his cryptid pals are called on by merfolk to help save the underwater city of Atlantis from its mayor, who is over-mining the sea's powerful crystals that keep the city running. Absurdity abounds on every busily illustrated page of the adventure, which includes a subtle message about taking care of the environment.
