Cryptid Hunters, by Roland Smith, is about a boy and girl named Marty and Grace, who have adventures in the Congo with their uncle. Marty and Grace's parents crashed in the Congo, so they were sent to live with their Uncle Wolfe. Wolfe is a scientist that looks for cryptids. He also lives on a secret island in the Pacific Ocean. so when Marty and Grace get to the island, they mess around for a couple of days, then Wolfe decides to take them back to the school because Wolfe is going to the Congo. when they are on the way back, Marty and Grace fall out of the plane while they were in the cargo hold. Somehow, they survive and find themselves lost in the Congo. While this is going on, Noah Blackwood and Butch McCall are coming to capture them. Noah Blackwood is an evil scientist, and butch McCall is his sidekick. they want to kill Wolfe and capture Grace. In the end, Marty and grace are rescued. It is a book filled with action, adventure, and mystery.
One of the main themes in the book is adventure. an example of how this theme is shown is when Marty and Grace fall into the Congo, they have to venture through the forest. Another theme in this book is mystery. An example of how this theme is shown is when Grace adventures through the Congo, she discovers many facts about her past life. Those are some of the themes in this book.
I would recommend this book to other seventh grade readers because it is a book filled with action, adventure, and mystery. It also has a lot of funny sequences in it. I would recommend it to ages 12 to infinity. It is also a great book for people who are interested in Cryptids. That's who i would recommend this book to.
