It takes a special person to end up in detention on the last day of school.

It takes a really special person to accidentally burn down the schoolyard while chasing a fire-breathing chipmunk.

But nothing about Valentina Salazar has ever been “normal.” Not when her family are protectors, sworn to rescue magical creatures who accidentally stumble into the human world.

When Val’s father is killed during a rescue mission gone wrong, her mother decides it’s time to retire from their life on the road. She moves the family to a boring little town in upstate New York and enrolls Val and her siblings in real school for the first time.

But Val is a protector at heart and she can’t give up her calling. So when a mythical egg surfaces in a viral video, Val convinces her reluctant siblings to help her find the egg before it hatches and wreaks havoc. But she has some competition: the dreaded monster hunters who’ll stop at nothing to destroy the creature…and the Salazar family.
