Carol is finished with Impossible Creatures (Impossible Creatures, #1)
I really enjoyed the premise and looking up the creatures and their historic significance. Includes a Bestiary at the back

Summary
Christopher discovers the Archipelago, a world where mythological creatures were secreted away by magic long ago, but those creatures are now dying, and it is up to Christopher and Mal, a girl from the Archipelago, to save both of their worlds.
