      Product Description

      Step into the shadows of weird history and folklore with this captivating cryptozoology guide, revealing the truth behind the world's most famous (and infamous) monsters.

      Young readers can investigate the stories behind legendary creatures, learning how scientific methods and detective work help separate fact from fiction. From deep-sea leviathans to shadowy urban legends, this stunningly illustrated guide encourages kids to evaluate evidence, analyse data, and form their own conclusions.

      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 analyse evidence and become a real cryptozoologist in the field.
      • Bold film poster-style artwork that brings weird but (maybe) true mysteries from across the globe right off the page.


      A brilliant gift for monster-loving kids aged 7-11 who love history, science, and a good mystery. A must-have addition to every family bookshelf.
