The Lonely Lake Monster

De: Suzanne Selfors, Dan Santat

Narrado por: Bryan Kennedy

Pearl Petal and Ben Silverstein can't wait for their first official day as apprentices of Dr. Woo, veterinarian for imaginary creatures. That is, until they are tasked with clipping the sasquatch's toenails. Gross!

Then Pearl spots a monster in the lake behind the hospital. Even though they were told not to leave the building for any reason, Pearl sets off for a closer look, with Ben trailing cautiously behind.

The outing goes awry when Ben is captured by the creature and held hostage on an island in the middle of the lake. It's up to Pearl to hatch a rescue mission. Will she save the day or cement her reputation as the town troublemaker? And will the hospital's secret patient be able to help?

Suzanne Selfors takes readers on an incredible adventure full of mythical creatures and astonishing discoveries that are anything but imaginary.

This book includes bonus writing, art, and science activities that will help readers discover more about the mythological creatures featured in The Lonely Lake Monster. These activities are designed for the home and the classroom. Enjoy doing them on your own or with friends!

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for the Imaginary Veterinary series:"The best books are those in which imaginary creatures leap off the page and into our world -- just one of the reasons why this book is a ton of fun. I can't wait for more adventures!"—Wendy Mass, New York Times bestselling author of The Candymakers

Imaginary fun

"I love imaginary, mystical vreatures and this was so cool !" - said by my kid, age 9

A Cryptid Classic

The family listened to this while on vacation; all four kids enjoyed the banter of the story, in particular my eldest who is enthralled by anything cryptid related. We do wish the entire series was available on audible!

Worth a listen for children

Where does The Lonely Lake Monster rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

My grandchildren, girls 8 & 12, listened intently to the book while we were traveling during our family vacation. I enjoyed the book also although probably would not have been a personal choice without the children. The story kept the girls interest and they eagerly asked for it to be resumed after traveling breaks.

Any additional comments?

I recommend it for children. Although fictional it is not stupid and has a good plot overall.

Love it

This book is so good I’m requesting more of them to become a audiobook. I will definitely be reading the print version of this book and the whole series
