boy survives meeting with a devil who lives in sink drain, Mar 29 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Devil in the Drain (Hardcover)
We all know that there are things better not faced that live in the drains of sinks. We've heard their gurgly cackling; we've glimpsed vague flashes of light or dark. Besides, it's a dark and mysterious place that you can't quite get to--who knows what might be there! In this gripping narrative, a young boy challenges one of these drain-dwelling devils to show himself...and survives intact.The encounter is not without danger. The devil attempts to play upon the boy's possible weaknesses--he tries unceasingly to bully our protagonist; he tries to make him feel guilty for the unavoidable accident involving a hapless fish.
But our young hero is made of more self-reliant stuff, and shows us that a promise made to the devil who negates his half of the bargain, is no promise at all.
I like this book because it demonstrates the benefits of curiosity, courtesy, confidence in your own self-worth, and the utility of washing in matters of hygiene. Also, the pictures are cool.

Devil on my mind, Oct 17 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Devil in the Drain (Hardcover)
This is easily the most beautiful Pinkwater title I've read to date. For those of you who are on a religouse search of this hard to find gem, or any of Danial Pinkwater's past literary achievments, this book will change your view of life and the universe, the devil and other such nonsense.
Listmania!
