Join expert cryptozoologist Dr Soothfast for a round-the-world adventure in hunt of the creatures science has yet to catalogue... with fold-out pages and a monstrous pop-up on every page!

Each creature in this book has been spotted in the wild, and many people believe them to be real-life monsters - but science cannot yet prove that they exist. Uncover the evidence, and discover the strange stories behind these curious creatures, known by experts as 'cryptids'. Then decide for yourself - do they really exist?

From well-known creatures like the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster, to the lesser-known, but just as curious Jersey Devil and Chupacabra, this magnificent book is the must-have guide to a collection of cryptids from around the world. Playfully blending historical accounts with a fictional narrator, and using a graphic-novel panel on every page for stunning visual story-telling, this graphic guide is perfect for readers 7+.

With bright, graphic artwork from DC-illustrator Berat Pekmezci and a spine-tingling text from monster-lover and fiction author Eleanor Hawken.

A fun interactive pop-up book for budding monster hunters! * WRD Magazine *
