Or so the government would have you think, having centuries earlier destroyed the last of these deadly, dragon-like creatures.So when wealthy twelve-year-old chemistry student Eva Alexander unwittingly purchases an aerimander egg, she becomes the target of the Thieves’ Union and its newest member, thirteen-year-old orphan Dusty St. Ichabod.But Eva is no easy mark, and soon she and Dusty are driven into a maze of sinister threats, betrayals and surprises – all while fighting to keep the egg away from power-hungry hands.As the unlikely duo races against time, their fates – and that of the whole world – are at stake. Because there’s one question no one dares to ask: What happens when the egg hatches?Impossible Creatures meets The Mysterious Benedict Society in this epic, fast-paced upper-middle grade fantasy full of majestic creatures, heroic hijinks, battle-forged friendships, and sharp humour.
