Nathaniel Fluddâs life has taken a turn for the worst. With his parents lost at sea, he lands on the doorstep of a distant cousinâthe worldâs last remaining beastologist. Soon Nate is whisked off on his first expedition, to Arabia, where the worldâs only phoenix prepares to lay its new egg. When disaster strikes, Nate quickly finds himself all alone.
Will he be able to see the phoenix safely hatched, keep his accidental pet gremlin out of trouble, and rescue his guardian from the Bedouin? If he fails, nothing will stand between the worldâs mythical creatures and extinction.
Too bad Nateâs not the sort of boy who enjoys adventure . . .yet.
