ritareadstrash 's review for:

Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell
4.5
adventurous emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

  I will start by saying, I think most parents would recommend for more 3rd grade and up, as characters do die, or suffer serious injuries on page.

As someone who cannot mentally picture anything, I really loved all the illustrations throughout the story, of the mythical creatures. It made it feel like I was reading someone's field notes from this whole grand adventure and made the story fly by.

I won't say too much on plot, as I like going in blind.  But I'm very happy to have a new MG fantasy book to recommend
