My Aunt, The Monster

Natalie Ross has a lot to cope with … A kid brother who turned his parakeet, her pet cat and their bossy aunt into a griffin, how to keep this secret from her parents and, once at her uncle's horse farm, how to deal with the unruly griffin while trying to find the magic that will bring back her cat, her brother's bird and, of course, bossy Aunt Matty. Engaging characters and diamond-sharp insights make this YA novel a delightful introduction to Mary Stanton's "Magical Mystery" series by the author of the Unicorns of Balinor series, the paranormal Angels series and, under Claudia Bishop, the long-running Hemlock Falls mystery series.
