Cryptid Hunters

Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, such as a move or the loss of a loved one, and needs a high-octane distraction that validates their resilience. It follows twins Grace and Marty as they are thrust into a world of secret jungle laboratories and mythical creatures after their parents disappear. This story bridges the gap between deep grief and the thrill of discovery, providing a safe space to explore themes of survival and family secrets. While the plot is fast-paced and filled with scientific gadgets and cryptids like the Mokele-mbembe, the emotional core centers on the siblings' bond. It is best suited for readers aged 9 to 13 who enjoy technical details and survivalist themes. Parents will appreciate how the book models adaptability and bravery in the face of sudden, life-altering change, though it does include some intense action sequences and moments of peril.
