Inside, young Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder for the hotel, has an unexpected visitor: Violet Parma, a fearless girl around his age who lost her parents at the hotel when she was a baby. She's sure that the nervous Herbert is the only person who can help her find her parents. The trouble is, Violet is being pursued by a strange hook-handed man. And the town legend of the Malamander--a part-fish, part-human monster whose egg is said to make dreams come true--is rearing its scaly head. As various townspeople, some good-hearted, some nefarious, reveal themselves to be monster hunters on the sly, can Herbert and Violet elude them and discover what happened to Violet's kin? Featuring black-and-white spot illustrations, this lighthearted, fantastical mystery kicks off the Legends of Eerie-on-Sea series  -- now available in paperback with a bright new cover featuring Herbie and Violet. \u003cp hidden=\"hidden\"\u003eTaylor, Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp hidden=\"hidden\"\u003e9781536215151\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walker Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49273202770153,"sku":"1864JA9","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5363\/3513\/files\/index_41e6a6e3-c50d-4fc9-8e88-e2855afd1a41.jpg?v=1761835164","url":"https:\/\/follett-playground-b2b.myshopify.com\/products\/malamander-legends-of-eerie-on-sea-book-1","provider":"Follett Playground B2B","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
