Cryptosight, by Nean McKenzie
Junior Fiction. An adventure novel for ages 8+
Mystery. Secret Organisations. Suspense.
‘Cryptozoology’ is the study of creatures which nobody has ever seen, (think bunyips, the Loch Ness monster and the abominable snowman); and ‘cryptosight’ is the ability to communicate with such creatures. But, Rafferty Kaminski likes facts.
When Max, their cryptozoologist father, takes Raff and his younger sister, Zara, into the Australian bush to start their cryptozoology training blindfolded, Raff is not impressed.
And then Max disappears …
Cryptosight is Nean’s first book and an exciting read.

I loved this story. I liked how the kids had to go out into the middle of nowhere and find their way back!

I am a teacher and will be recommending this to the school librarian here in the U.K. so that the boys in my school can enjoy this exciting adventure story… and I too can find out what happens next to Raff and Zara.
So glad you enjoyed it! I’ll pass your comment on to Nean, the author, as I’m sure she’d love to know her story is being enjoyed on the other side of the world!
