Description:
Jack loves to work the land, to make things grow. And he loves Flora, the girl next door, to whom he has been promised since childhood. But drought dries up the crops, stealing away hopes and, finally, Jack's father. One day Father climbs the cliff and vanishes in the clouds.
Expand description
Father's disappearance torments Jack until people begin to call him Crazy Jack. No hope now of marrying Flora. But Jack's not mad -- he's haunted, hungry. When a lucky bit of magic gives Jack the means to follow Father, he enters a world of terrifying treasure and temptation. Only Jack would be crazy enough to climb. Only Jack would dare to find out what happened to Father.
In Donna Jo Napoli's magical hands, a simple tale takes on a bold, compelling vitality. Pungent and wise, Crazy Jack shows how Jack's daring yields not gold but sustenance, love, and the means to build a life.
