The Lenski Kids and Dracula
Illustrated by Peter Viska
The Lenski kids are children from Hell, who torture babysitters into submission. Then along comes Kim Kip, who seems incapable of allowing any atrocity to disturb her serenity. She does, however, appear to have a supernatural assistant waiting in the wings. Independent readers fond of fairly crude slapstick and transparent twists of plot will probably enjoy this knockabout comedy. I found it irritatingly obvious, and the caricatural illustrations glaring and cacophonous.
