Now with all-new illustrations!Sketcher, adventurer, disguiser, and sneaker Ollister B. Pembrick roamed all of Skree with a sketchbook and pen, searching behind every tree stump and under every stone, in every river and on every hill, to discover and document the endless living wonders of the Maker's world. He risked life and limb--quite literally--to compile sketches and details of the creatures of Skree, usually from the cover of a hollow log, a hedge, or a pile of leaves. Refer to this carefully documented Creaturepedia before traversing through the Stony Mountains or harvesting fartichokes within a fortnight after a sandstorm. The drawings and field notes about squeeblins, toothy cows, oiples, and more will surely save any explorer's life and will definitely keep them--and their appendages--from being gobbled. Tread carefully, young adventurer. The creatures within are not to be trifled with.

Sure, sometimes images pop into Elaine's head—images that stay with her until she draws them—but that isn't weird. That's artistic inspiration. But it turns out her "artistic inspirations" predict the future, and Elaine's regular world falls apart. Having been identified as a powerful Seer and kidnapped from the school parking lot, Elaine finds herself trapped in a world of superheroes, secret government agencies, and terrorist groups. Now, instead of her typical suburban life, Elaine becomes the permanent house guest of the eccentric superhero Pendragon and his wife. Elaine's days are filled with robotic Knights of the Round Table, combat training, and honing her psychic skills. Still, since Elaine plans on surviving her new life, she'll do whatever it takes—even learn to fight in robotic armor and make friends with the too-hot for his own good spy assigned to her for her safety. And if she has to endure another kidnapping attempt? That isn't weird. That's the life of a superhero.
