Features magical, fantastical, & mythological creatures from across China, the perfect introductory guide for your early reader!

After finally finding his way to Beijing (after being waylaid by a kraken, mermaid, Chinese dragon, giant spider, gryphon, and hippogriff), cryptozoologist Dr. Maxwell meets with the Asian Artefact and Animal Assembly to learn about the assignment they have in store for him.

What should be a fairly easy task to complete, locating a missing artefact before the Winter Solstice Festival, is quickly complicated-thanks to the number of magical, fantastical, and mythological creatures he encounters along the way (including one that shouldn't even be in China)!

Will Dr. Maxwell recover the artefact in time? Or will his reputation in the world of cryptozoology be forever tarnished?
