Scott Magoon

eBook - 2023

A team of genetically enhanced extinct animals embark on top-secret missions around the world in the second entry in this action-packed graphic novel series-now in paperback! After stopping Dr. Z's nefarious plan and rescuing the unicorn horn, things haven't quite been the same for the Extincts. In order to pay the bills and support themselves, they open a zoo and gift shop. Scratch, Martie, Quito, and Ursa think it's a great chance to educate the public and teach people to be better to the environment. But Lug isn't so sure that this is the best use of their time and energy. After a fiery and near-tragic incident, Lug decides to leave the team and goes to do work that he thinks will actually make a difference: helping ...a group of smoke jumpers stop the wildfires in California. But it seems like the fires they're stopping may not be so natural-someone seems to be causing them to try to lure Lug to follow . . . It's going to take the help of all the Extincts to get to the bottom of it and save the day! With heart-racing action scenes, loads of humor, and an environmental message, this new book from New York Times bestselling author Scott Magoon is an exciting adventure from start to finish. The book will also include nonfiction back matter about wildfire safety tips, smokejumpers, how to make your own telescope, and more!

Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3--5--In this sequel to series starter Quest for the Unicorn Horn, the Extincts try to raise funds by opening a zoo and gift shop at ROAR headquarters. Bear Ursa, passenger pigeon Martie, saber-toothed tiger Scratch, and poison frog Quito all support this new endeavor; however, mammoth Lug just wants to be out in the world helping others. After Lug loses his temper at a zoo visitor, he quits the venture and heads to California to fight wildfires. When a mysterious arsonist turns out to be an unexpected foe with a fiery desire for vengeance, Lug and the rest of the Extincts must save the day once more. Strikingly rendered, this action-packed middle grade graphic novel blends a quest for purpose with a strong environmental message. Readers will also gain a crash course in smokejumpers and wildfires. VERDICT Purchase where the first book is popular, as context with the Extincts' origins is a must.
