IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES
'There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell' – Michael Morpurgo
Sinopsis
There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell. Wondrous invention, marvellous writing.– Michael Morpurgo
Theres a place where all the wildest stories began … The first novel in the award winning and globally best-selling Impossible Creatures series is the story of two childrens epic adventure to transform the world.
Read the stunning sequel to Impossible Creatures: book 2,The Poisoned King, is OUT NOW!
Christopher is stunned when he discovers a Way-Between from our world to the Archipelago: a cluster of magical islands where all the creatures of myth still live and breed and thrive in their thousands. There he meets Mal: a girl from the islands, who is in possession of a flying coat and a baby griffin, and who is being pursued by a killer. Together they embark on an urgent quest to discover why the creatures are suddenly perishing, voyaging across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes hold secrets and centaurs do murder, in a bid to save both the islands and the world beyond them from a rising evil – before its too late.

Full of adventures, wonderful side characters, new lands and so many fantastic creatures. I heartily recommend it to readers of all ages – Rick Riordan
A book stuffed full of fantastical, magical delight, and a world of richly imagined wonder – Cressida Cowell
Rundells first foray into fantasy is both a deft, rich homage to the greats of childrens literature and an absorbing, profoundly poignant quest story for those aged 9+ – quite possibly her best yet – The Guardian
A marvellous, imaginative fantasy told with great style and sparkle – a book to race through in a day and keep for a lifetime–Jacqueline Wilson
The world of this new book is so intriguing and so well put together that I couldnt resist it. Readers who already know her books will seize this with delight, and new readers will love it and demand all her others at once - Philip Pullman
A masterpiece to rival Tolkien and Pullman– The Daily Telegraph
Fantastically exuberant, wildly imaginative, impossibly brilliant. Rundells best, which is something to be marvelled at–Kiran Millwood Hargrave
Between the covers of Impossible Creatures is a world as enchanting, as perilous, as richly imagined as Narnia or Middle Earth – Frank Cottrell-Boyce
Rundells book packs a punch with imagination and creativity in its purest form. She has created a story with potential to be adored by fantasy lovers for years to come– The Independent
With a delightful cast of characters, breathless adventure, and an abundance of myth and magic, Impossible Creatures offers the very best of fantasy – Aisha Bushby
A fierce, fantastic, wild-hearted adventure that roars and bristles with imagination. I devoured it like a hungry dragon–Sam Sedgman
A rare and remarkable feat of glittering imagination from a truly masterful storyteller–Catherine Doyle
The action is gripping. Every sentence sparkles. You can feel the flutter of griffin feathers and the menace of strange poisonous shrews. Magnificent– The Times
Surely the next classic– The I
