About this book

They appear in myths but could creatures like krakens and the Loch Ness Monster really exists? That's Travis Wolfe's obsession, and he'll travel to the ends of the earth in search of proof. For cousins Marty and Grace, who have lived with the intense scientist ever since Marty's parents mysteriously disappeared, this means adventure.
