About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a deep concern for wildlife or feels a calling to protect those who cannot protect themselves. It is a perfect fit for the young activist who sees the world through a lens of empathy and is ready to explore the complex intersection of environmental conservation and ethical responsibility. Through the lens of a family dedicated to mythical creature rescue, the story models how to handle high-stakes challenges with teamwork and unwavering integrity. The Monsterjunkies series continues the journey of the Crow family as they navigate the perils of protecting cryptids from those who wish to exploit them. While the premise is grounded in fantasy, the emotional core focuses on family loyalty and the courage required to stand up for one's beliefs. It is highly appropriate for middle-grade readers (ages 8 to 12) who are transitioning into more complex adventure stories that tackle real-world themes like animal rights and environmental stewardship within a high-stakes, imaginative setting.
