The Menagerie is a great book about mythical creatures being hidden and cared for by humans. Logan is able to connect with griffin cubs and helps try to make all of the creatures comfortable. The only downside: There is a cliffhanger ending.

This is such a cute book. There is a chosen one trope which was okay because it wasn't obvious. I loved the friendships and the attitudes of Zoe's parents. I loved the griffin cubs too. They were so adorable. I am so excited to read the rest of the series. An absolute delight to read!

The Menagerie by Tui T. Sutherland and Kari Sutherland is the perfect read for any kid (or adult) lover of mythical creatures of any sort. The griffon cubs have escaped from the super top-secret menagerie. And Logan meets Zoe and Blue as they are trying to hunt them down. Sure, he may think they’re just looking for Zoe’s dog at first. But his tracking skills quickly become the very thing they need to find the cubs.
Logan figures out it isn’t a dog, and his cat, Persimmon (I had to give this awesome feline a shout-out), is not happy about the development of learning about these creatures. As the kids track the babies down, they start to realize that all may not be right at the menagerie. Odd things (besides the griffon escape) are going on, and they are on the verge of being shut down.
The Menagerie is full of friendship, unexpected magic, and just a little mystery. Full of magical creatures, it draws across cultures and mythos to build a place full of things to discover.
