Secrets of the Under-Under World: Creatures is the second book in a new fantasy series for kids from 9 to 12
"Magic is just science that hasn't been understood or explained yet," says The Great Hildinski in this fast-paced adventure that sees your favorite characters from book one back and ready to overcome pirates, thieves, would-be-kings, and their own self-doubt to save the world.
In Creatures, Sam, Boyo, Darby, and Gemini, have to complete a quest in time to stop the dreaded Slashasaurus eggs from hatching. Because if the eggs hatch, they could destroy every person on earth.
Their journey takes them to each continent in the world - as well as back to the Under-Under World - and along the way, they make new friends, meet creatures such as lions, snakes, and birds, and even encounter a live Slashashaurus!
"Glowing red eyes. Sharp teeth that glint in the semi-light. A long, spiked tail that whips back and forth, slashing the air. Sam shivers. This must be the deadly Slashasaurus."
Will they be able to prevent disaster in this world where things are not always what they seem, and twists and turns await around every bend?
Beautifully illustrated by the author, Creatures is a middle grade fantasy book that will resonate with kids who are going on their own quests to discover who they are and how to deal with the challenges they face every day.
Entertaining as well as thought-provoking, the Under-Under World series joins the growing ranks of climate change books for kids. The series will resonate with young environmentalists who know we all have a role to play in saving the earth.
Praise for the series:
"Perfect for this young generation who have grown up with global climate crisis and want to DO something about it!"
"Beautifully written and illustrated"
"It's a real page-turner from beginning to end, but also has a strong environmental theme -without being heavy-handed."
