ABOUT TATO:
TATO, a fantasy/adventure for upper elementary readers, captures children's
imaginations by recognizing their desire to earn the admiration of the adults closest to
them. The story casts Michael Tate, an inventive and willful boy, and his bossy older
sister, Nicole, into a strange world filled with mirrors and strange creatures where
they must rescue their parents from the evil power that rules the realm.
Michael's trouble begins with the passing of his grandfather and best friend, Gankum.
Rebuffed by his family when he insists that Gankum now lives in his closet, he
confides in his grandfather's spirit that he wants someone new to love him. When he
learns the secrets for creating a baby brother by soaking a potato in a magic formula,
he jumps at the chance.
He botches the formula, however, and instead of a brother, two creatures are
spawned: One, soulless and desperate, kidnaps Michael’s parents. The other, Tato,
part human, part potato yet irrepressibly warm and affectionate, accompanies Michael
and Nicole in their quest to find and free their parents. Danger and treachery greet
them every step of the way. Children will be enchanted by this tale of a young boy
who acquires magical powers that get him both in and out of trouble.
