Cryptid Sea Monsters profiles 50 different aquatic cryptid mysteries around the world. Aspiring scientific explorers will discover that many ancient sea monsters turned out to be real creatures—like the oarfish, a real creature that inspired our legends about dragons—and learn about other cryptids that might one day turn out to be real.
Each cryptid has a reality rating of 1 to 6 to show whether it's more of a hoax or something that has been discovered and recognised by science.
This page-turning guide will inspire curious readers to investigate more on their own, and to understand the relationship between science and myth.

For more than 25 years, KELLY MILNER HALLS has crafted high-interest nonfiction books and articles for young readers. Known for quirky but well-researched topics, Halls delights in drawing even reluctant readers into the realm of discovery through explorations of dinosaurs, Sasquatch, UFOs and other unusual themes. She lives in Spokane, Washington, and speaks at schools and conferences all over the world. RICK SPEARS was born in California in the third quarter of the 20th century, relocating to Georgia five years later. As with most young children, he was fascinated by dinosaurs and spent many hours drawing pictures of prehistoric animals in various scenes of combat. His dinosaur and cryptid art has found its way into various books, magazines, websites, and even a board game. His sculptures can be seen in several museums and collections throughout the southeastern United States. Rick currently resides in Georgia with his family, who finds his weird projects just a part of everyday life.
