    Wonderful kids book

    I've always heard of this book and the character, a Canadian national treasure, but had never gotten around to reading it.

    Do adults really seem that mean to kids?
    This was a fun story about a kid found guilty in an innocent situation that results in him being locked in a prison guarded by none other than The Hooded Fang.
    Great adventure and easy to read for the 7 and up crowd.

From Our Editors

Imprisoned for committing the worst crime of all, insulting a grown-up, Jacob Two-Two now stands before the frightening warden, the dreadful Hooded Fang. Sentenced to a diet of stale bread and water, Jacob is sent to the lowest, dampest dungeon. But his fate is not sealed. When the Infamous Two come to his rescue, Child Power triumphs. Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang is an inspirational classic for young readers and the first of Mordecai Richler's Jacob Two-Two books.

From the Jacket

"Everyone should go out tomorrow and beat his local bookseller into submission if he hasn't got a nice, plump display of books titled Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang."
-New York Times Book Review

About the Author

Mordecai Richler was born in Montreal, Quebec, in 1931. Raised there in the working-class Jewish neighbourhood around St. Urbain Street, he attended Sir George Williams College (now a part of Concordia University). In 1951 he left Canada for Europe, settling in London, England, in 1954. Eighteen years later, he moved back to Montreal.

Novelist and journalist, screenwriter and editor, Richler, one of the most acclaimed contemporary writers, has spent much of his career chronicling, celebrating, and criticizing the Montreal and the Canada of his upbringing. Whether the settings of his fiction are St. Urbain Street or European capitals, his major characters never forsake the Montreal world that shaped them. His most frequent voice is that of the satirist, rendering an honest account of his times with care and humour.

Richler's many honours include two Governor General's Awards and innumerable other awards for fiction, journalism, and screenwriting.

Mordecai Richler died in Montreal, Quebec, in 2001.
