The Cryptid Catcher: A Middle-Grade Monster Hunting Adventure
The Cryptid Catcher is the first book in a monstrously fun middle-grade duology by Lija Fisher about a boy who inherits a job hunting legendary creatures.
After Clivo Wren's archaeologist father dies mysteriously, the newly orphaned thirteen-year-old finds out the truth: his dad was no archaeologist. He was actually a cryptid catcher, known for finding elusive beasts like the bloodsucking chupacabra. His goal: discover the one extraordinary cryptid whose blood grants immortality--before the knowledge falls into the wrong hands. The mission remains unfinished, and now there's only one person who can take the renowned cryptid catcher's place: Clivo. He may not know the first thing about monster hunting, but he's willing to give it a try--because anything beats staying home with his salsa-crazy aunt and her neurotic cats.
Perfect for Young Readers Who Love Mythical Creatures
This middle-grade fiction book combines adventure, humor, and mythology as Clivo navigates his new life as a cryptid hunter. From chupacabras to other legendary beasts, readers will discover a world where mythical creatures are real and one boy must track them down to complete his father's unfinished quest for immortality.
Award-Winning Middle-Grade Fiction
Praise for The Cryptid Catcher:

"Fisher's debut, the first half of a duology, delivers adventure and laughs. . .readers will be ready for the sequel when they turn the final page." --Kirkus Reviews
