Cryptozoology
5 primary works
Book 1
Book 2
Addeline is horrified to hear her parents are going on a six week vacation to Peru without her. She and her two siblings will be left with an aunt and uncle they've never met in the wilds of Florida.
She quickly realizes her aunt and uncle are just as crazy as her parents have always said - they think they live in a crypto-zoological vortex with sprites, a hornless unicorn, and goblins who are trying to get the gold under their house. She doesn't believe it until her younger brother, Ian, goes missing in the swamp, and she watches her sister, Fiona, get kidnapped and dragged underwater by a kelpie.
Determined to reunite her family, but unsure of where to begin, she is approached by a talking Pixie Frog and Fairy Wren who offer their help. Before they can be of any use, the goblins attack, threatening to change all Addeline's freshly made plans.
Can Addeline defeat the goblins and rescue her siblings or will she become the vortex's next victim?

Book 3
Fiona isn't crazy about spending summer vacation with an eccentric aunt and uncle she's barely met, but at least her brother and sister are stuck in Florida with her. During a spider hunt on her first night there, she's told they are in a cryptozoological vortex complete with sprites, Bigfoot, and a hornless unicorn.
Life becomes stranger when her younger brother, Ian, disappears and is believed to have been kidnapped by a swamp creature. Before she has a chance to help look for him, Fiona is stolen by a kelpie and taken underwater to the world of the mermaids.
Kept as a playmate for the king's youngest daughter, she transforms into a mermaid herself, just before she's told she will be sacrificed to the giant sea creature, Lusca.
Will Fiona survive the transformation, or more importantly, if she does can she battle Lusca and win?

The cryptozoological vortex is active again. Addeline, Fiona, and Ian return to visit Aunt Tabitha and Uncle Buster for the summer, along with Morgan and her cousin, Atticus. Then Tabitha disappears - believed to be stolen by a rogue dragon.

Will they find Tabitha before it's too late or will they be lost in the world of dragons, gypsies, and a misunderstood Minotaur?
