The Griffin’s Boy

By Sarah L. Thomson

“A fast-paced, heartwarming mystery. Thomson’s world is populated by resourceful protagonists, fanciful creatures, and quirky supporting characters.”
—Publishers Weekly

“The fast-paced, amiable narration makes this instantly appealing for mythological creature buffs looking for a breezy mystery.”
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Thomson’s whodunit is well plotted, escalating to a climax that is both logical and appropriately scary. The world building is also well handled, and readers will enjoy the wide variety of magical beasts (including amphisbaena, dragons, manticores, naiads, vegetable lambs, and a phoenix, to name just a few) who play a role in the story.”
