Description

Penny swears that when she was a little girl, a creature called the Bawk-ness Monster—half sea serpent, half chicken—saved her from drowning. Now, years later, she’s about to move away to a new city, and before she goes, she needs the help of her best friends, Luc and K, for a vitally important mission: seeing “Bessie” one more time. But in their quest to find Bessie and give Penny the send-off she deserves, the kids stumble into a whole new problem—cryptids are being kidnapped by an evil collector, and only Penny, Luc, and K can save them!

Praise for Cryptid Kids: The Bawk-ness Monster

"Awash in silly asides, with the antics and kooky gadgetry of a 007 flick, this watery romp lands its affirmation that living authentically is possible for everyone—even cryptids."—Booklist
