Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Logan Wilde is accidentally drawn into the mysterious, dangerous world of the Menagerie when he discovers a griffin hiding under his bed . . . and it leads him straight to the weirdest girl in seventh grade, Zoe Kahn.

Zoe is panicking. Her family has been guarding the Menagerie for centuries. If they don't get the cubs back fast, the whole place will be shut down. To save the griffins' lives, she's willing to break all the rules, even if it means letting an outsider like Logan help. But the real mystery remains: Is someone trying to sabotage the Menagerie?

Who let the griffins out...and why?

My Review:

I give this book a 5 out of 5. 

I received this book as part of a Goodreads giveaway. 

The moment I started reading, I was hooked. I did not want to put The Menagerie down. The story was light, fun, and mysterious all at once. The griffins were humorous and precocious. Logan and Zoe were both lovable, and Blue was a great character to round out the threesome. 

This is definitely a great book for pre-teens and even for adults like me. It was a nice, fast read and a lot of fun.

I can't wait for Book 2! I will definitely be watching for it!
