Emmeline Grant's dream was to join her father (Dr. Ethan Grant, naturalist and explorer) on an adventure. At last the chance arrives, but nothing is as Emmy, 13, expected. Sailing a route to the Falkland Islands with her governess, Emmy finds herself in Pletonia: where enormous fish fly, monstrous bee-like creatures hunt and kill, and people insist they have lived as animals. Emmy can't wait to reunite and share her drawings with her father, but first the Majesties must tell her how to get to him. There are no ships available, and Pletonians seem unable, or unwilling, to let her go. Isolated from the rest of the world, indeed, seemingly ignorant of it, they believe Emmy's presence is no coincidence and want her to stay until the "mystery of her history" is solved. In the capital, Monarchia, she reconnects with a friend who has already proven himself willing to withstand punishment to help her. With more tragic deaths happening each day, the king and queen believe Emmy may hold the key to Pletonia's survival. The monsters are after her. Will she live long enough to find out? "Emmeline Grant and the Monstrous Beesh" is 300 pages with 53 b/w illustrations. Grades 3-7.
