Cryptid Chronicles: Chupacabra

BY

Cristin Bishara

Something sinister is prowling in the shadows of Old San Juan in this interactive supernatural horror book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 19 possible endings!

An unexpected hurricane hits the coast of Puerto Rico, where YOU are staying with your aunt for the summer. In the aftermath of the storm, you find yourself alone among the wreckage. Not sure where to find your aunt, you consider searching for her, but then you remember something odd that happened as the eye of the storm roared overhead—there was an animal. And it wasn’t one of the animals you recognize from your aunt’s property, where chickens, parrots, mongooses, and iguanas roam. This animal had green, radioactive eyes, a spiky back, and fangs. Sharp ones.

They say the chupacabra is just a legend, but you can’t help but feel its presence in the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan. Will you end up lost in the forest, being stalked by an alien bloodthirsty creature? Or will you encounter a hidden society of Duendes?

Kids who love cryptids and paranormal mysteries will be captivated by this science fiction thriller, where nothing is as it seems to be, and danger lurks at every turn.
