INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Smith, Roland

Cryptid Hunters

(4) 4-6 After their parents' disappearance, twins Marty and Grace are claimed by a previously unknown uncle, join in his search for cryptids (legendary creatures like Bigfoot and Nessie; here a dinosaur hidden in the Congo), and run afoul of the despicable collector Blackwood. Stylistically clumsy, this high-interest story exploits adventure conventions (exotic locations, fancy gizmos) to good effect.
