About the Book
For fans of J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, and anyone who ever wanted to ride a unicorn, Cryptozoology for Beginners is part novel, part magical creature guide, and every bit a fast-paced, world-hopping adventure.Book Synopsis
Only six weeks after a handful of teenage sorcerers defeated a team of anti-magic mercenaries called the Euclideans, Trish, Owen, and Perry are called back into action when they discover that the world's cryptids (aka magical creatures) are disappearing. They're partnered with brusque team leader Jacinda Greyeyes and their former nemesis Bryan Ferretti in a mission to travel all over North America, collecting famous cryptids like the jackalope, the chupacabra, and the altamaha-ha. But when another team of teenage sorcerers suddenly vanishes, the spell casters set out for Germany, Egypt, and the Seychelles to uncover why the Euclideans have been abducting and experimenting on magical creatures like the unicorn and the sphinx. The secrets they uncover threaten to divide them, and reveal a truth that will permanently upend the way the world sees sorcery.Review Quotes
Praise for Sorcery for Beginners: "A clever, often hilarious adventure." --Booklist "If you're looking for someone who's got the spell-books covered, you might want to turn to fiction: Matt Harry's Sorcery for Beginners... a fun getaway for any age." --BuzzFeed "For the Harry Potter and other high fantasy magical realism fans this is a great title." --VOYA Magazine "The book's inventive format incorporates spellbook elements, including engraving-style illustrations, droll sidebars, and spell instructions... it's a charming package and a drily funny adventure." --Publishers Weekly "Matt Harry has a knack for taking what's already a fun concept (of his very own creation) and making it even more fun throughout. Sorcery for Beginners makes me wish I had this book when I was Owen Macready's age.
