Three Reasons You Should Read This Middle Grade Contemporary Fantasy:
- The Menagerie by Tui T. Sutherland & Kari Sutherland is an incredibly fun adventure full of fantasy creatures and the people that care for them (or find them when they get lost).
- The run-away griffons cubs really steal the show from all the human kids – and the names they pick for themselves had me laughing so hard.
- The way the kids interact with each other (even though they are all very different) was fun, and watching them grow closer as they searched for the griffons was so sweet. (But not so sweet that reader-kids won’t enjoy it too.)
About The Menagerie by Tui T. Sutherland & Kari Sutherland
Title: The Menagerie
Author: Tui T. Sutherland & Kari Sutherland
Series: The Menagerie #1
Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Wings of Fire series, Tui T. Sutherland, and her sister, Kari Sutherland, comes the Menagerie series, perfect for fans of Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven series and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
In the small town of Xanadu, Wyoming lies the Menagerie, a top secret facility filled with unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, and other fairy tale creatures. At least, it was a secret—until six griffin cubs escaped.
If Logan and Zoe don’t get the cubs back fast, the entire Menagerie will be shut down. The race is on and the resulting adventure is only the beginning of a thrilling series that will leave readers wanting a magical menagerie of their very own.
My review of The Menagerie:
The Menagerie by Tui T. Sutherland and Kari Sutherland is the perfect read for any kid (or adult) lover of mythical creatures of any sort. The griffon cubs have escaped from the super top-secret menagerie. And Logan meets Zoe and Blue as they are trying to hunt them down. Sure, he may think they’re just looking for Zoe’s dog at first. But his tracking skills quickly become the very thing they need to find the cubs.
Logan figures out it isn’t a dog, and his cat, Persimmon (I had to give this awesome feline a shout-out), is not happy about the development of learning about these creatures. As the kids track the babies down, they start to realize that all may not be right at the menagerie. Odd things (besides the griffon escape) are going on, and they are on the verge of being shut down.
The Menagerie is full of friendship, unexpected magic, and just a little mystery. Full of magical creatures, it draws across cultures and mythos to build a place full of things to discover.
