This is the first book in a new series, The Imaginary
Veterinary. We first meet Ben, who is
being sent to stay with his grandfather for the summer. We also meet Pearl, a girl who lives in the
same town as Ben’s grandfather. Ben and
Pearl both see a large bird on the day Ben arrives in town. Pearl thinks it is a dragon. Ben isn’t sure what it is but when a small
creature that seems to be an injured baby dragon appears in his bed, Ben also
recalls a strange man he and his grandfather saw at the store who had a recipe
for artificial dragon’s milk. Ben and
Pearl seek him out at the newly opened worm hospital where they make a
fantastic discover about many creatures that they didn’t know really
existed. Unfortunately, in the process,
they accidentally let a Sasquatch escape and are given the task of retrieving
it before it causes any trouble. This is
a fun fantasy story for school age readers.
