About this item
Latkes are potato pancakes served at Hanukkah, and Lemony Snicket is an alleged childrens author. For the first time in literary history, these two elements are combined in one book. A particularly irate latke is the star of The Latke Who Couldnt Stop Screaming, but many other holiday icons appear and even speak: flashing colored lights, cane-shaped candy, a pine tree. Santa Claus is briefly discussed as well. The ending is happy, at least for some. People who are interested in any or all of these things will find this book so enjoyable it will feel as though Hanukkah were being celebrated for several years, rather than eight nights.
About the Author
Lemony Snicket claims he was nowhere near the scene of the crime. He is the author of several other unpleasant stories, including those in the bestselling A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Lump of Coal.
