The Monster Realm

Lillian always loved stories about myths and monsters-until she found herself trapped inside one.Searching for her lost sister, ten-year-old Lillian and her best friends must navigate Lanodeka (also known as "The Monster Realm), a secret world built by magical creatures who fled human hunters centuries ago. Guided by a mysterious boy named Jack, the friends must survive a sea guarded by krakens and sirens, a dark forest haunted by chimeras, and a desert ruled by dragons. But the monsters hold an ancient grudge against humanity, and a dark secret hides at the heart of the realm. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson or classic Ray Harryhausen films, this epic, heartfelt, and humorous adventure was written by child author just days before her 11th birthday. "A fast-paced novel that transports readers to a world filled with magic and peril." Kirkus Reviews
