Valentina Salazar is Not a Monster Hunter

Description

It takes a special person to end up in detention their first week at a new school.\nIt takes a REALLY special person to accidentally burn down the cafeteria while chasing a fire-breathing chipmunk.\nBut nothing about Valentina Salazar has ever been “normal.” The Salazars are Guardians, tasked with rescuing the magical creatures who sometimes wander into our world, from grumpy unicorns to flying alpacas to the occasional fire-breathing chipmunk.\nWhen Val’s father is killed during a rescue mission gone wrong, her mother decides it’s time for the family to retire from their life on the road. She buys a house in the suburbs and enrolls Val and her siblings in real school for the first time.\nBut Val is a Guardian at heart and she can’t give up her calling. So when a mythical egg surfaces on a YouTube video, Val convinces her reluctant siblings to help her find the egg before it hatches and wreaks havoc. But she has some competition: the dreaded monster hunters who’ll stop at nothing to destroy the creature and the Salazar family.\nDETAILS\nPaperback\nISBN-13: 9781339039534Publisher: Scholastic Inc.Publication Date: October 3, 2023Pages: 368\nHardcover\nISBN-13: 9781338712711Publisher: Scholastic Press Publication Date: June 28, 2022 Pages: 368Ages: 8-12\n
