Book two of the new adventure series that School Library Journal said is sure to keep lovers of Rick Riordan running to the shelves and PopSugar named one of the top ten books to read after Harry Potter is now in paperback!
In the thrilling sequel to Guardians of the Gryphon's Claw, Sam London dives headlong into his second case involving a selkie, a mysterious girl, and an ominous new threat to the mythical and human worlds!
Sam London didn't mean to uncover an ancient secret, but when he found out that mythical creatures are real and living in our national parks, he became the newest recruit to the Department of Mythical Wildlife. Ever since, the middle schooler has been anxiously awaiting the call for his next case . . . and it finally arrives with the brazen appearance of a selkie in San Francisco Bay.
Along with Dr. Vance Vantana and the guardian Tashi, Sam pursues the selkie, who has taken a peculiar interest in fashion's newest it girl and social media star, Pearl Eklund. But the closer he gets, the more questions emerge about Pearl's mysterious connection to the mythical world. Is she the long-lost hope for an entire civilization or the harbinger of its doom? It's up to Sam to find out the truth, and fast. . . . The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
Praised by Publisher's Weekly as a death-defying, globe-spanning adventure, packed with creatures out of folklore and myth, and hailed as The American Harry Potter by New York Times bestselling author Martin Olson, the Sam London adventure series is a magical roller-coaster ride of an adventure about destiny, friendship, and the power of belief. Where the unbelievable becomes the undeniable and ordinary becomes the extraordinary...And the great mythic hero is found in the most average of places.
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia, and readers of all ages who love magical creatures, thrilling adventures, and epic quests.
It's time to find out about the smartest Salmon who ever lived, the real location of Atlantis, why you should be terrified of rainbows, and if Sam London can save the entire world...again.
