Written by award-winning bookseller and author Tamara Macfarlane, this engaging bestiary provides everything a budding cryptozoologist needs to know.

Perfect for curious fans of the unknown, this book features:

  • Engaging investigations that blend science with tall tales to teach the critical thinking skills needed for studying curious creatures.
  • Detailed profiles of famous cryptids from the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot to the terrifying Mothman, Kraken, and Wendigo.
  • Expert knowledge and tips on how to confidently analyze evidence and become a real cryptozoologist in the field.
  • Bold movie poster-style artwork that brings weird but (maybe) true mysteries from across the globe right off the page.
