Monsters of Fife: Terror Birds

Coming July 14, 2026. Pre-order today!

By: Jane Yolen / Illustrated by: Celia Lowenthal

Meet Cat Douglas—monster hunter.

It’s been a quiet seven months in 1890s Scotland since their encounter with the fearsome sea dragons, and Cat, Jamie, Calum, and their teacher, Mr. Harris, are nearing the end of the school term. Then Cat finds dog collar on the beach, and that night she dreams of a huge, howling black dog—warning of a new kind of monster that threatens the village of Anstruther.

On a reconnaissance mission, the team spots a gigantic bird—could it be related to the ancient terror birds that Jamie’s pa wrote about in his research papers? The hunt for the terror birds is on, and Cat, Jamie, Calum, and Mr. Harris must figure out what’s going on before the next attack.

Join Cat and her friends as they adventure through a fantastical and historical Scotland in this second installment of the Monsters of Fife series. Graphic novel panels are interspersed throughout the novel, making it an engaging read. The three books in the series have collectible posters that can be pieced together to create one big poster.
