Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the hidden world of America's mythical monsters with Deja, the first kid brave enough to try making friends with them! Deja Ross is a sixth-grade cryptozoologist... That means she LOVES monsters. On a long family road trip, she seizes the opportunity to search for legendary creatures at every stop, hoping to find proof of one with her new video camera. One night, Deja sneaks out of the RV and meets the Texas chupacabra face-to-face! In her excitement to meet an actual cryptid, she charms the beast out of eating her. It turns out that mythological animals are not only real but they can also talk...and maybe it's time for their stories to be heard! Deja and her new friend hatch a plan to interview many more monsters. Unfortunately, they're not the only ones on the trail...and some other monster hunters don't have intentions as pure as Deja's. Has she led her beloved beasts into a trap? Critically acclaimed graphic novelist Lisa Naffziger (Minus) makes her Top Shelf debut with a page-turning adventure that celebrates friendship, curiosity, and the most adorable critters you've never seen.
