EVAN BRAIN! catalogs the hilarious antics and stunts of Evan Doyle, who at age 15 illustrated and co-authored this memorable book with his long suffering mother, Eve Becker-Doyle. Parents will enjoy Eve's wit and understated humor -- 'Evan didn’t lack for brains, although his father pointed out he didn’t put them to good use much" -- as she describes young Evan’s unfortunate encounters with educators, babysitters and family members whose patience is pushed to the limit. Kids will revel in Evan’s fantasy accounts of each story, chocked full of a bizarre cadre of creatures. Orphax Jackalopes that jump around the backyard like popcorn. A kindergarten teacher known as the evil hag Torblaz Mugtulla. Another evil hag who wants to stew Evan in the juices of a Garblaxian Fireworm. And the evil overlord known as the principal who allows Evan to enjoy a three-day vacation. Whether you’re 8 or 80, these funny, original stories punctuated by Evan’s clever and imaginative cartoon drawings, actual apology notes, and disgruntled teacher letters to his parents, will keep you laughing.
