4-6Calico Chapter Books: Monster Hunters series.
Illustrated by
Scott Brundage.
Three boys assist an older brother with his internet show about discovering cryptids (mythical or legendary monsters) by chasing clues to their whereabouts and, hopefully, photographing them. But is documentary proof possible? Scary adventures include encounters with strange beasts and shady characters. Despite the stilted dialogue, reluctant or struggling middle-grade readers will appreciate the large print, short chapters, and action-packed illustrations. Review covers these Monster Hunters titles: Chase the Chupacabra, Hunt for Sewer Gators, Search for Bigfoot, and Tame Tahoe Tessie.
