<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>The Cryptid Catcher </i>is the first book in a monstrously fun middle-grade duology by Lija Fisher about a boy who inherits a job hunting legendary creatures.</b> <p/>After Clivo Wren's archaeologist father dies mysteriously, the newly orphaned thirteen-year-old finds out the truth: his dad was no archaeologist. He was actually a cryptid catcher, known for finding elusive beasts like the bloodsucking chupacabra. His goal: discover the one extraordinary cryptid whose blood grants immortality--before the knowledge falls into the wrong hands. The mission remains unfinished, and now there's only one person who can take the renowned cryptid catcher's place: Clivo. He may not know the first thing about monster hunting, but he's willing to give it a try--because anything beats staying home with his salsa-crazy aunt and her neurotic cats. <p/>Praise for <i>The Cryptid Catcher</i>: <p/>[Fisher] dishes up an action-oriented romp, <b>puts a resourceful but not superhuman protagonist at the head of a colorful, diverse (of species as well as race) supporting cast</b>, and salts the plot with tantalizing hints that the stakes are about to broaden." --<i>Booklist, </i><b>starred review </b> <p/>Fisher's debut, the first half of a duology, delivers adventure and laughs. . .<b>readers will be ready for the sequel when they turn the final page</b>. --<i>Kirkus Reviews </i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lija Fisher </b>lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. <i>The Cryptid Catcher </i>is her debut novel.
