HIDDEN BEASTS - A CRYPTOZOOLOGIST’S JOURNAL (GÖMDA BESTAR)

If you are reading this, you have found my secret logbook. I, Elias Leijon – cryptozoologist and adventurer – swear that everything written in this book is true. If you choose to read it, you will enter a fantastic world inhabited by the wonderful creatures known as cryptids

The year is 1910. Twelve-year-old Elias attends the night marish boarding school Graybyholm. When Elias discovers a hidden book about cryptids, fantastic animals no one has ever seen, a plan begins to take form. He and his mother, the impoverished Baroness Miranda Leijon, strike a deal with his mother’s terrible but immensely wealthy sister. If they find proof that cryptids truly exist, they will be granted a mansion and finally be free to live as they wish – otherwise, Elias must return to Graybyholm, and Miranda will face an unwanted marriage.

It’s the beginning of a great adventure. Elias and Miranda’s hunt for the mythical cryptids becomes a dangerous journey that takes them across the globe – through scorching deserts, dense jungles, and bottomless swamps. But some one is on their trail …

Ida Kjellin’s story is brimming with adventure, suspense, and fantastic creatures, accompanied by atmospheric illustrations by Lina Blixt.
