4-6Creature Keepers series.
Twelve-year-old Jordan is stuck cleaning out his dead grandfather's house in a Florida swamp, and he's initially bored stupid. But it turns out that Grandpa Grimsley wasn't just a crazy old man--he protected creatures like the New Jersey Devil and the Loch Ness Monster. Now it's Jordan's turn. The series-starter's energetic plotting is laced with humor; cartoon-style line drawings appear liberally.
