Content: G (mild danger)
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SOME
Zadie is excited to have some time with her older sister Persephone and her mom has agreed they can visit their park ranger dad. BUT, they have to take along Mom’s extremely boring boyfriend. Almost as soon as they arrive, things become dangerous - turns out Dad is actually a caretaker for magical animals, and even Zadie, as his daughter, is a valuable commodity. When Dad and Persephone get kidnapped, it is up to Zadie and Lloyd to work out their differences so that they can charge (carefully) to the rescue.
A good optional choice for a large fantasy collection. I really appreciated the scene where Zadie and Lloyd really listened to each other; students will love the danger and Dad’s rockin’ lifestyle.
