(4) 4-6 Cryptid Files series. Vanessa shares her late mother's interest in cryptozoology. In Loch Ness, aiming to continue her mom's research, Vanessa travels to Scotland and has a dangerous encounter with Nessie. Chupacabra finds Vanessa in Mexico, dealing with inexplicable animal deaths, strange visions, and dark secrets. Brief, informative contextual notes open each chapter. Character development is sacrificed for fast-paced action, but this series should interest reluctant readers curious about legends and cryptozoology. Review covers these Cryptid Files titles: The Chupacabra and The Loch Ness Monster.
