Impossible Creatures

Bookseller recommendation

“A secret archipelago, talking dragons, courageous unicorns– Impossible Creatures has all the making of a fantastic children’s fantasy. Combine that with two children, Mal and Christopher, who are out to save the universe from dark forces with the help of a crusty sailor, a biologist who studies sea creatures, and a squirrel-like creature called a ratatoska for a fantasy that I could not put down. The five must solve the riddle of the sphinx, get advice from a centaur, and escape the attack of the kraken along the way. All kids will cheer when one of the adults asks another, “Children have been underestimated for hundreds of years. Why are you continuing the tedious tradition?” I especially loved the illustrated glossary of the magical creatures at the end of the book. This novel is perfect for lovers of Wings of Fire, Harry Potter, or Percy Jackson. ”
