gap430 - It is a really good picture book. It is about a boy who marries a girl and the boy has a friend. There are witches that are trying to kill the couple and if the friend tells he could die. And if he doesn't do anything, they will die. He is really faithful. You should read it. Really good
Starred review from April 3, 1995
Readers of this talented duo's Sukey and the Mermaid can expect to be equally impressed by this striking volume. This time, San Souci and Pinkney travel to the island of Martinique for a supernatural tale of friendship between two youths, Clement and Hippolyte-one black, one white. Clement woos and wins the beautiful Pauline, but her uncle, the evil Monsieur Zabocat, enlists a trio of zombies to curse the happy couple. Hippolyte uncovers the plot and faithfully protects Clement and Pauline at the risk of his own life. In fine folktale fashion, however, goodness is rewarded, Hippolyte survives, and Zabocat gets his just deserts. Reflecting an understanding of Caribbean culture, San Souci neatly distills the flavor of the French West Indies. Pinkney's distinctive scratchboard artwork just gets better and better; here, he captures both the sunny, carefree island setting as well as the dark undertones of voodoo magic. Ages 5-10.
