Book Overview
A whimsical and imaginative catalog of fantastical beasts and creatures of myth and legend from around the world-complete with a code that needs cracking to uncover the mystery of the monster atlas
One day a collection of very old maps is found in a dusty library. They show where in the world monsters and creatures from mythology and folklore can be found. According to the notes left with the maps, they were made by Cornelius Walters, an intrepid explorer from the 15th century. But did Walters really make these elaborate maps, or is it all a hoax? The librarian who discovered them is not certain . . . and what are the strange messages in a cryptic code that Walters records in his ship's log? The codes throughout, once cracked, may indeed lead to something sinister that will happen should the atlas ever be published This is a gorgeously illustrated and comprehensive catalog of monsters, beasts, and mythical creatures from around the globe, with an easy-to-read format and incredible detail on each spread.

This was a fun addition to our monsters unit study, my kids didn’t like it as much as another atlas we were working on. There were more monsters included, smaller text and not as cutesy imagery. My only real complaint was the same for both books - I wish they’d had phonetic spelling next to monster and place names. The subplot with the secret symbols didn’t really catch my kids the way I think it was probably intended to.
