About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Wings of Fire series, Tui T. Sutherland, and her sister, Kari Sutherland, comes the Menagerie series, perfect for fans of Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven series and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
In the small town of Xanadu, Wyoming lies the Menagerie, a top secret facility filled with unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, and other fairy tale creatures. At least, it was a secret—until six griffin cubs escaped.
If Logan and Zoe don’t get the cubs back fast, the entire Menagerie will be shut down. The race is on and the resulting adventure is only the beginning of a thrilling series that will leave readers wanting a magical menagerie of their very own.
Tui T Sutherland
Tui T. Sutherland & Kari Sutherland are sisters and best friends, and if you can’t tell by looking at them which one is older, Tui certainly isn’t going to tell you. They grew up in South America, traveling a lot and moving several times (and they’re still only about 80 percent certain that their parents weren’t secret agents). Kari now lives in California, while Tui lives in Boston, but they use every excuse they can to see each other (like, say, writing a book together).

Reviews for The Menagerie

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Menagerie by Sharon Montrose is one of those quirky little books that you can't help but pick up and look through. Montrose is a sought after photographer of - you guessed it - animals.She has assembled a collection of photos in Menagerie that somehow mimic a photo album you might pull out to show off your family. The animals seem almost like they have posed in a human manner. Their faces and body language seem to mimic human qualities and in many they seem to be looking straight at us (and the photographer) The portrait of the slumped bear reminded me so much of a tired man after a hard day's labour. The shot of the two geese brought to mind two neighbours gossiping by the back fence. The photos of 'baby' animals reminded me of those taken by an indulgent parent. I quite liked the row of 'infant' portraits. I can't say I enjoyed the snakes or reptiles as much! Montrose has a real eye, that's for sure. The close ups of some of the wild animals, such as the fox, and the detailed shot of the flamingo feathers were quite stunning.Many of the shots were framed or hung in unique ways. While some pictures had accompanying phrases, I almost felt like I wanted more...a bit of a essay or explanation of the photographer's intent.Menagerie is a unique photo book. Unfortunately, the size and layout of the book meant that many photos were cut in half across two pages. A larger coffee table size would have been more friendly to the photographer's work. Or even going with a landscape layout rather than portrait.That being said, if you're not familiar with Montrose's work, this is a wonderful little book to start with.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sharon Montrose is a photographer extraordinaire, with a very distinctive style. She has become well known in commercial photography, specializing in animal photographs. In this book she has combined her love of photography with her love of animals.Divided into sections, Sharon includes both domestic and wild animals. The photographs are taken from unique angles, featuring interesting expressions and views. She has a keen eye, seeing the animal as it is and drawing attention to what others may not see. Her portraits are exceptional and beautiful.At the back of the book, Sharon gives credit to the animals. She lists them in order of appearance. She also lists resources including websites, and acknowledgements.The book is a beautiful tribute to the amazing animals, their beauty and their uniqueness. This is a book to own and to give as a gift to any animal lover.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I am sure the photographs are beautiful, but these gorgeous animals are shown only in miniature. There are a few two page spreads of individual animals. Yes! That's what the whole book should have been. The illustrations and text are gorgeously painted. But overall, a disappointment.
