Description
Once was, once wasń€™t. So began the stories Marjań€™s father told her as a little gir倔fables like the story of the girl who sprung a unicorn from a hunteŕ€™s snare, or the nomad boy who rescued a baby shirdal. Tales of extraordinary beasts that filled her with curiosity and wonder. But Marjań€™s not a little girl anymore. In the wake of her fatheŕ€™s sudden death, she is trying to hold it all together: her schoolwork, friendships, and keeping her dád€™s shoestring veterinary practice from going under. Then, one day, she receives a visitor who reveals something stunning: Marjań€™s father was no ordinary veterinarian. The creatures out of the stories he told her were rea倔and he traveled the world to care for them. And now that h這s gone, she must take his place. Marjan steps into a secret world hidden in plain sight, where mythical creatures are bought and sold, treasured and trapped. She finds friends she never knew she needéd€”a charming British boy who grew up with a griffon, a runaway witch seeking magic and hom途while trying to hide her double life from her old friends and classmates. The deeper Marjan gets into treating these animals, the closer she comes to finding who killed her fatheŕ€”and to a shocking truth that will reawaken her sense of wonder and put humans and beasts in the gravest of danger. --
