- Synopsis
- Jurassic Park meets Skandar and the Unicorn Thief in this page-turning middle grade fantasy adventure set at a nature preserve for magical beasts, where two girls find themselves on a wilderness expedition gone disastrously wrong.Hattie Swift is a maid-in-training at Majestica, a resort and nature preserve where visitors come face-to-face with rare magical flora and fauna. She&’s thrilled to be invited along on the park&’s famous wilderness train excursion for the first time, but there&’s a catch: She has to accompany Evelyn Ridgewell, the hotel owner&’s haughty niece, who wants nothing to do with her.Soon after embarking, Evelyn overhears a man who aims to hunt the park&’s creatures for sport, and Hattie meets Jacob Threadborne, an apprentice magician sent by a foreign government on a top-secret mission. Then the magical fences keeping guests safe stop working, and the train breaks down in the most treacherous part of the jungle. Faced with poachers, man-eating trees, and a dragon on the loose, Hattie, Evelyn, and Jacob must stick together to figure out what&’s gone wrong at Majestica . . . that is, if they want to make it out alive.Features a richly illustrated map of the expansive nature preserve, as well as a bestiary with all the magical—and dangerous—creatures at Majestica.
