Walla Walla Public Library -- FOUR days to focus on fourth!
Cryptozoology is the study of mysterious creatures that fall between the realm of real and imaginary on the scientific spectrum. The Cryptid Creature Field Guide offers a closer look at fifty of these amazing creatures, examining the best possible evidence for each, including scientific papers, magazine and newspaper articles, and credible eyewitness accounts.
The fifty cryptids are arranged in order alphabetically, and in addition to speculative illustrations, include details like when they were first reported, whether they are terrestrial, aerial, or aquatic, and each have a reality rating of 1 to 6, in which 1 means that the cryptid has been confirmed as a hoax, and 6 means the cryptid has been proven as real.
This page-turning guide will inspire curious readers to investigate more on their own, and maybe even help to prove if a cryptid is a hoax or is real.
If you've been waiting for a TALES OF THE CRYPTIDS follow-up, the wait ends in September of 2019.
Thank you, Cybils for naming death eaters a middle grade winner!

Kids often ask me, "What would you do if you met Sasquatch?"

Great! My new book, GHOSTLY EVIDENCE from Millbrook Press at Lerner is now available. Explore the basics of paranormal investigation. Explore world famous haunted places and places you've never considered before. Review world famous hoaxes and moments hard to define as anything but mysterious. You can even consider the ghostly moments I experience myself during four years of cross country investigation (see YouTube video below)!
