內容簡介

「擁有獨特文字魅力,和瘋狂的想像。」-《黃金羅盤》作者盛譽
 
  那一天,Christopher從一個隱藏的湖邊,救起一隻小獅鷲起,他的人生將從此改變。也就是在同一天,他才得知有群列島,一整群從未被繪製入地圖內的島嶼,上頭存在著已繁衍幾千年的各種神奇生物。又是在同樣一天,Christopher遇見了Mal,一個急切需要他幫忙的逃亡女孩。
 
  Mal和Christopher開始了瘋狂的冒險之旅,穿梭於島嶼之間,尋找為何魔法和魔法生物們都開始消失的原因。他們去問了人面獅身像,與海妖戰鬥,甚至去跟龍做談判。然而,當他們越靠近事實的真相,他們就越清楚,沒有人能夠出面解決問題,除了Mal和Christopher自己。
 
  書內還有多達60幅插圖,包括一張地圖,和一本神奇生物的圖集,引人入勝。

  There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell. Wondrous invention, marvellous writing.' - Michael Morpurgo

  There's a place where all the wildest stories began . From Katherine Rundell, the British Book Awards Author of the Year, comes the paperback release of the first novel in the critically acclaimed, award winning, best-selling Impossible Creatures series. This edition includes The Centaur's Spectacles bonus short story.

  Christopher is stunned when he discovers a passage to the Archipelago: a cluster of magical islands where all the creatures of myth still live and breed and thrive in their thousands. There he meets Mal: a girl from the islands, who is in possession of a flying coat and a baby griffin, and who is being pursued by a killer. Together they embark on an urgent quest to discover why the creatures are suddenly perishing, voyaging across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes hold secrets and centaurs do murder, in a bid to save both the islands and the world beyond them from a rising evil - before it's too late.

  'Rundell's first foray into fantasy is both a deft, rich homage to the greats of children's literature and an absorbing, profoundly poignant quest story for those aged 9+ - quite possibly her best yet' - The Guardian

  'A marvellous, imaginative fantasy told with great style and sparkle - a book to race through in a day and keep for a lifetime' - Jacqueline Wilson

  'The world of this new book is so intriguing and so well put together that I couldn't resist it. Readers who already know her books will seize this with delight, and new readers will love it and demand all her others at once' - Philip Pullman

  'A masterpiece to rival Tolkien and Pullman' - The Daily Telegraph

  'Fantastically exuberant, wildly imaginative, impossibly brilliant. Rundell's best, which is something to be marvelled at' - Kiran Millwood Hargrave

  'Between the covers of Impossible Creatures is a world as enchanting, as perilous, as richly imagined as Narnia or Middle Earth' - Frank Cottrell-Boyce

  'Rundell's book packs a punch with imagination and creativity in its purest form. She has created a story with potential to be adored by fantasy lovers for years to come' - The Independent

  'With a delightful cast of characters, breathless adventure, and an abundance of myth and magic, Impossible Creatures offers the very best of fantasy' - Aisha Bushby

  'A fierce, fantastic, wild-hearted adventure that roars and bristles with imagination. I devoured it like a hungry dragon' - Sam Sedgman

  'A rare and remarkable feat of glittering imagination from a truly masterful storyteller' - Catherine Doyle

  'The action is gripping. Every sentence sparkles. You can feel the flutter of griffin feathers and the menace of strange poisonous shrews. Magnificent' - The Times

  'Surely the next classic' - The I
