About This Book: Which characters had your parents used to scare you a bit when you had not been good as little children? ... Was it the Babaj, the Baba Jaha or the Terrible Grandpa? In the Ukrainian region of Slobozhanshchyna the Chackalka-character meets this „mission of intimidation"... Do you think the adults have only conceived that being but in reality Chackalka has never kidnapped anyone into a deep dark forest? Oh, no, you are mistaken! At least a girl named Stefa and her friends know what all really happens and who you meet THERE!
This is the story which the Ukrainian writer Ivan Andrusyak describes in his humorous book. This author had only written about serious and adult things before, though he became a child while working on this book...
