Illustrated by
Minalima.
Entertaining poems about eighteen legendary creatures (e.g., chupacabra, Loch Ness Monster, Nandi Bear) are displayed on faux-newspaper pages, signs, and bottle labels. The crisp digital illustrations have a slightly edgy feel; the sophisticated (and chaotic) presentation makes this most appropriate for middle-grade readers. This is an inventive and contemporary twist on well-loved mysteries. Information about the cryptids appears on the back endpapers.
