Descripción
This paperback is the first novel in Katherine Rundell’s acclaimed Impossible Creatures series, with the bonus short story “The Centaur’s Spectacles.” Christopher is stunned when he discovers a passage to the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where creatures of myth still live, breed and thrive in their thousands. There he meets Mal, a girl from the islands who has a flying coat and a baby griffin and is being pursued by a killer. Together they embark on an urgent quest to discover why the creatures are suddenly perishing, travelling across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes hold secrets and centaurs do murder, in an attempt to save both the islands and the world beyond them from a rising evil. The book has received the British Book Awards Children’s Fiction Book of the Year, Waterstones Book of the Year, Books Are My Bag Readers’ Award and Foyles Children’s Book of the Year, and has been shortlisted for Amazon Kids and YA Book of the Year. It is aimed at readers aged 9 and over, and the text is in English.
