The Search for Vile Things: Volume One

80 pp. | Scholastic | December, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-90888-7 $12.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Marilyn Scott-Waters. This scrapbook-style travel journal documents the voyages of Ephemera Churlyshe and her entourage as they encounter unusual creatures and customs in Indonesia. Entries are arranged in roughly alphabetical order, focusing on what makes each thing "vile." Readers looking for obscure and gross facts will happily join Ephemera's trip, though the mixture of fact and fiction may be confusing.
