The Extincts

George is looking for a job in order to raise money for a new bike, so when he sees a help wanted ad for Wormestall Farm, he goes for it. Before long, he’s embroiled in a madcap adventure involving creatures both (supposedly) extinct and (previously thought to be) mythological, a new friend (a girl!), and a maniacal taxidermist who wants the animals of Wormestall Farm in her own private collection . . . stuffed, of course.

The Extincts by Veronica Cossanteli is an unforgettable adventure story that’s just as funny as it is wild, and full of gorgeous illustrations by Roman Muradov of the story’s dazzling fantastic beasts.
