Henry Hunter and the Beast of Snagov Summary

Henry Hunter and the Beast of Snagov by John & Caitlin Matthews

Do you dare open the Henry Hunter files and discover the monsters and beasts hunted within? When schoolboy super-sleuth Henry Hunter uncovers a clue about the legendary Beast of Snagov, the origin of all vampires, he and friend Dolf travel to Whitby and Romania on its trail. Unravelling clues from Bram Stoker's DRACULA, and the legend of Vlad the Impaler, they encounter Dracula's daughter Bella Dracula. But is she a friend or a foe? And, can the trio evade the sinister forces that are tracking their every move, intent on releasing the Beast from its underground tomb?

Henry Hunter and the Beast of Snagov Reviews

Life is never going to be dull for Dolf after he makes friends with super sleuth Henry Hunter. Much to Dolf's dismay, Henry's latest adventure sets out to prove the existence of vampires. Their investigations show not only did two characters from the book 'Dracula' exist, but so did the Snagov beast - even more terrible than a vampire. In going after this beast they find help from a shocking source as they do battle with a sect determined to raise the beast. This is an exciting read with surprising moments and a bit of a cliff-hanger ending that will make you eager for the next instalment. -- Debbie Williams * Primary Times *
With characters who channel Twilight, Tank Girl and A Young Indiana Jones, it is a delight. A beautiful and memorable book with a witty, knowing narrative . . . stunning illustrations . . . This novel nods towards Holmes and Watson, but characters Bella and Henry should appeal to eight to 13 year olds, regardless of gender. * Teacher magazine *
