Portland Book Review
Fritz Fombie Have No Fear receives the Portland Book Review’s
highest 5 star rating.
Sometimes
it’s hard for kids to admit that they have fears, and even harder to conquer
said fears. Parents find ways to reassure their children that nothing is under
their bed or in their closets at night. They will check their closets and under
their bed or let them sleep with them, but then there is that point where
parents need to give their children tools to conquer their fears on their own and
this is a great starting place - especially for kids who are too old to keep
sleeping with Mom and Dad.
In
this delightful chapter book targeted for children 8-13 years old, we meet
Fannie who has multiple fears and has a hard time in conquering them. After a
horrible, scary day, Fannie accidentally calls up the vast and unknown powers
of the universe and meets Fritz who finally will help her conquer her fears.
The good thing is that Fritz is a zombie, which actually helps her and doesn’t
create more problems. I know you would think a zombie would be the last person
to help Fannie, but it’s the person that she needs the most. Not only does
Fannie meet, Fritz, she also meets his pet, a monster named Stink Warts!
Antonino’s
goal in writing this was to give kids the power to conquer their own fears that
they never realized that they had - to look deep inside themselves and find
that they can take care of themselves just fine. I think that any child who
reads this will realize that they have the power and tools to conquer anything
that may come their way, whether it’s a monster under the bed, a bully at
school, or going to the dentist. Sometimes parents need help in helping their
kids and this reviewer thinks this book is a great starting point.
