In this third Yeti Files caper, yeti Blizz Richards and his motley crew of cryptid sidekicks answer a call for help from the mayor of Atlantis. It seems that the mayor's pet project (to expand the mining of crystals that power and protect the suboceanic city's magic) is being threatened by a huge kraken. Blizz and his buddies quickly discover, though, that the tentacled kraken's motives are more complicated than they're cracked up to be. Predominantly told in ink-and-wash cartoons with quick bits of narrative and snarky repartee interspersed, the episode is festooned with a crowd-pleasing array of mythical creatures, toothy squid of diverse size, and hungry sharks.

School Library Journal (Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2016)

Gr 1-3 Yeti Blizz Richards transports his crew to the lost city of Atlantis where a kraken is causing trouble. All is not well in the depths of the ocean where the Mayor of Atlantis will stop at nothing to mine power crystals for his city. The plot speeds along haphazardly with big doses of humor, especially in the plentiful cartoon illustrations. Hand this series to kids who dig the wacky, cartoony humor of Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" series.
