Cryptid Hunters and Tentacles


Cryptid Hunters is the first book in this series. Until Roland Smith wrote Tentacles, no one knew that it was a series. And he has done it again. Like his other books, Tentacles is action-packed.

In Cryptid Hunters, brother and sister Grace and Marty travel to the Congo with their uncle in search of a dinosaur. There are bad guys galore and staying alive in the jungle is not easy. Marty and Grace find that things are not what they seem and people are not whom they appear to be.

In Tentacles, the setting is the ocean. Marty and Grace are in search of a giant squid. Inventors with amazing new technology, really bad guys (and I mean really, really bad), and clever heroes make this book just as exciting and full of adventure as the first. There is also the distinct possibility (probability) that there will be another book in this series. I hope it doesn't take as long to write as Tentacles did!
