A little dry for young middle grade readers

This was a fun addition to our monsters unit study, my kids didn’t like it as much as another atlas we were working on. There were more monsters included, smaller text and not as cutesy imagery. My only real complaint was the same for both books - I wish they’d had phonetic spelling next to monster and place names. The subplot with the secret symbols didn’t really catch my kids the way I think it was probably intended to.
