From the bestselling author of E. B. White Read-Aloud Honor Book Liesl & Po comes a timely and
relevant adventure story about monsters of all kinds-and a girl brave enough to save them.
Cordelia Clay loves the work she and her father do together: saving and healing the remarkable
creatures around Boston at the end of the nineteenth century. Their home on Cedar Street is
full to the brim with dragons squelches and diggles and Cordelia loves every one of them.
But their work must be kept secret-others aren't welcoming to outsiders and immigrants so what
would the people of Boston do to the creatures they call monsters? One morning Cordelia
awakens to discover that her father has disappeared-along with nearly all the monsters. With
only a handful of clues and a cryptic note to guide her Cordelia must set off to find out what
happened to her father with the help of her new friend Gregory Iggy the farting filch a baby
dragon and a small zuppy (zombie puppy that is).
