Impossible Creatures

Impossible Creatures – An Epic Middle Grade Fantasy Series Filled with Mythical Beasts, Magic, and Adventure

Step into the Archipelago, a hidden world where every mythical creature you’ve ever heard of is real—and they’re in grave danger. Impossible Creatures by award-winning author Katherine Rundell is the thrilling start to a bold new fantasy series for readers of all ages who love magical creatures, high-stakes quests, and unforgettable friendships.

When Christopher discovers a baby griffin nibbling on his ear, he’s forced to accept that his grandfather’s fantastical tales about the Archipelago weren’t just stories—they were true. Soon, he’s swept into a whirlwind adventure alongside Mal, a fierce girl with a mysterious past and a mission to save her world.

Together, they race from island to island, confronting sphinxes, battling krakens, and bargaining with dragons, all while uncovering a terrible truth: the magic that sustains the Archipelago is fading, and the mythical creatures who depend on it are vanishing. The fate of this extraordinary realm lies in the hands of two unlikely heroes.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Chronicles of Narnia, and How to Train Your Dragon, Impossible Creatures delivers an unforgettable journey packed with imagination, heart, and action.
