Meet Nathaniel Fludd: uncertain explorer, faithful friend, unlikely hero, and, as apprentice beastologist, caretaker of the world's surviving mythical creatures. In Book One, Flight of the Phoenix, Nathaniel was sent to live with his Aunt Phil, the last remaining beastologist. She had an urgent mission and needed an assistant. In Arabia, Nathaniel encountered mythical birds, surly camels, territorial Bedouins, pesky gremlins, and unfeeling kidnappers who nab his aunt. 

Now, in Book Two, a basilisk is on the loose! This beast can strike down any living thing with its paralyzing gaze and poisonous breath. Nathaniel and his aunt must trap the basilisk without losing their lives, get it back to its cave, and figure out how it escaped in the first place. Everything depends on Nathaniel's ability to trust himself, think fast, and demonstrate how much can be done with two weasels, one gremlin, and a pair of goggles! -- Vivian L.
