Official synopsis Publisher
12-year-old Beatrice McIlvaine has a problem. It’s not sixth grade math. It doesn’t involve boys. This problem is bigger than that, and it has a nasty bite. As Beatrice steels herself to fight a threat to the precarious existence she leads with her single mother and a troubled little brother, she finds she’s not alone after all. A modern parable about love, family, and killing giant flying reptiles, Beatrice and the Basilisk is short (8,000 words) but not entirely sweet. There’s a lesson in there somewhere. If you can see through the dismal night sky, and beyond those dangerous teeth…BOOK ONE OF THE BEATRICE MCILVAINE ADVENTURE SERIES. BOOK TWO, BEATRICE AT BAY, IS AVAILABLE NOW!
