Valentina Salazar Is Not A Monster Hunter By: Zoraida Corodova

Genre: Fantasy
Age Recommendation: Grade 5+

Valentina and her family are protectors of magical creatures. The family has spent their lives travelling across the country in a camper van they call, "The Scourge" finding magical creatures and sending them back to their world, Finisterra.  Valentina's father believes strongly in protecting magical creatures, but his brother and the rest of his family are monster hunters.  Sadly, everything changes when Valentina's dad gets killed during a mission. The family settles down in a small town, but nothing feels right.  When their mother goes away on a work conference, Valentina convinces her siblings to go on one last quest to find a magical egg and send it back to Finisterra. What they find along the way will surprise everyone!  This is a fun and interesting read.  I recommend this book to fans of fantasy, mythical creatures and magic.
