Jonah is too cute. It was great to hang out with him and all his mystic creature goodness.
some cute parts and I loved all the geek terminology and references.
a good light quick read!

Great short story, Jonah really makes the right decision, to have the creatures go off into the woods, so no one beyond crazy-dude and the buyers really know about them, so they were safe. Yep. Good book!

This short story centers around Jonah, Kate's little brother. Jonah is about to venture into the LARP world. This is Live Action Role Playing, where people dress in real life as game or book characters and role play, cosplay comes to my mind everytime I hear about LARP. Anyway, during his LARP camp trip he sees a Yeti, actually the Yeti lands on his tent. With the help of three girls that he kind of has feeling for he will follow the Yeti and uncover a whole operation of creating and selling mythological creatures.
This story was very entertaining. I used to be a gamer, still am sometimes. But the whole LARPing thing seems so awesome to me, I wish there was something like that when I was a kid. Jonah is such a great main character. He is a true teenage boy. He likes every girl around him and he tries to act like the leader even when it's obvious he is far from it. We didn't get to see much of him on Bad Taste in Boys, but now we saw how adorable he really is. But also it made me realise how glad I am I don't have a little brother, it'd be a pain.

As much as I love Kate Grable and her zombie (and possibly werewolf) fighting ways, I adore her younger brother, Jonah. He's just the right mix of enthusiasm and geeky charm, and he (rightfully) get's his own novella in BAD YETI to explore that mixture. As chivalrous - and perhaps as bold - as his alter ego, Sir Talatien Maguirier, Jonah/Tal discovers creatures that his sister would never believe in, and tries to help them in whatever way he can. It's a lighthearted romp through a list of awesome mythological creatures, and the adorable, hormone-struck boy that encounters them.
