The Legends Begin

(3) 4-6 Darkmouth series. Illustrated by James de la Rue. Twelve-year-old Finn is the last Legend Hunter. For centuries, his family has protected Darkmouth's (ungrateful) citizens from "Legends": minotaurs, manticores, and the like. The problem? He's not living up to his father's--Hugo the Great's--expectations. Convincing characters (especially Finn, a reluctant hero with a soft spot for mythical creatures), expert pacing, and sharp wit make this a new fantasy series worth following.
