Recommended for fans of Harry Potter or Sisters Grimm submitted by klickitat on August 6, 2012, 9:24am The third book in the Nathaniel Fludd Beastologist series picks up immediately where its predecessor left off. Nathaniel, studying to join his family's profession as a Beastologist, or caretaker of mythical creatures, and his Aunt Phil are hot on the trail of the mysterious man encountered in Book 2, The Basilisk's Lair, whom they suspect released a basilisk in an attempt to double cross them. But on their journey to find the mysterious man, they encounter an even more threatening situation: a band of wyverns (a type of dragon) has decided to rebel because they believe humans have reneged on the ancient human-dragon pact. Now Nathaniel and Aunt Phil must race to appease the wyverns before it's too late!

This title is intended to be a transitional chapter book. It features Murphy's charming black and white pen illustrations every 2-3 pages, generously spaced type, and twenty-one lines per page. More complex vocabulary makes it best for confident independent readers. Given The Wyvern's Treasure's focus on mythical creatures, it's recommended for young fans of The Fairy-Tale Detectives or those who wished they could enroll in The Care of Magical Creatures along with Harry Potter. The story is suspenseful but never frightening. Although part of a series, for the most part this book stands on its own. The next title in the series will be released early next year (2011).

Recommended for fans of Harry Potter or Sisters Grimm.
