LaFevers, R. L. FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIXNew York : Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 2009IL 3-6, RL 3.6ISBN 0547238657With his parents declared lost at sea, 10-year-old Nathaniel Fludd finds himself sent to the home of a distant cousin—the world’s last remaining beastologist. Before he can unpack his suitcase, he is whisked off on his first expedition—to the sands of Arabia, where the world’s only phoenix prepares to lay its new egg. When disaster strikes, Nate quickly finds himself all alone. Will he be able to protect the egg until it is safely hatched, keep his new pet gremlin out of trouble, and rescue his cousin? If he fails, nothing will stand between the world’s mythical creatures and extinction. If he succeeds, he might just earn the right to carry the Fludd family compass, and to continue his training as a Beastologist---a protector of mythical creatures.
