Don't miss a single monster.

​

Don't miss a single clue...

 

...in the "steppingstone path of small mysteries" (Kirkus) that leads deeper and deeper into the Sylvan Woods universe.

​

When Casey Grimes and his little sister Gloria infiltrated Sylvan Woods, sorta-kinda by mistake, they didn't know what they were getting into. ​And how could they?

​

Who knew America needed to be protected from numerous monsters eager to devour the suburbs? ​Who knew there was a secret wilderness society to keep those monsters in check?

​

In this "gripping fantasy adventure" (The Wishing Shelf Book Awards), Casey Grimes begins his studies at Trickery School, one of America's premier monster-control academies. But classes like Extreme Climbing and Land Creature Defense are the least of his worries. A mysterious enemy is after him—more cunning than a Bog Creep or Hyena Toad. And this secret adversary is playing for keeps.​
