About This Book

A cold wind carries eerie howls through the night as the scent of damp earth fills the air. Somewhere in the shadows, a mysterious creature stirs, and danger lurks in every corner of the jungle. Marty and his uncle race against time to find a missing girl and confront a legend that might be more real — and more terrifying — than anyone imagined.

Quick Assessment

Chupacabra is the third book in Roland Smith's Cryptid Hunters series, blending fantasy and adventure as Marty and his uncle search for Wolfe's kidnapped daughter while encountering mythical creatures. Suitable for ages 9-12, it includes themes of family, courage, and mystery with some mild peril and suspense. Parents should note the presence of kidnapping and the pursuit of dangerous creatures, but the story is appropriate for middle-grade readers interested in thrilling, monster-themed fiction.
