Nathaniel Fludd’s life has taken a turn for the worst. With his parents lost at sea, he lands on the doorstep of a distant cousin—the world’s last remaining beastologist. Soon Nate is whisked off on his first expedition, to Arabia, where the world’s only phoenix prepares to lay its new egg. When disaster strikes, Nate quickly finds himself all alone.
Will he be able to see the phoenix safely hatched, keep his accidental pet gremlin out of trouble, and rescue his guardian from the Bedouin? If he fails, nothing will stand between the world’s mythical creatures and extinction.
Too bad Nate’s not the sort of boy who enjoys adventure . . .yet.

Reseñas
This book hooked my attention and kept it. An adventure book with a bit of self-discovery thrown in. First in a series.
Quick read for kids who like the Suzanne Selfors Imaginary veterinary series.
forgetable fantasy but kids will like it.
I got this book as an advanced reading copy through the Amazon Vine program. It is the first book in a series targeted at children. Previously I have read LaFevers Theodosia series and I enjoyed that series. This book is a short chapter book and was a very quick, fun read; as an adult it took me maybe 30 minutes to read.Nathaniel never sees much of his parents; they are always off exploring and he's been left behind. Then a message comes that they have been "lost at sea". Suddenly Nathaniel's life is turned upside down and he is sent to live with his Aunt Phil. Aunt Phil immediately whisks him off on a crazy adventure to take care of a Phoenix. Ends up Nathaniel is the most recent of a long line of Beastologists.This was a great kids book. It was fast-paced, creative, and both Nathaniel and Aunt Phil are likeable characters. In some ways this book reminds a bit of the The Spiderwick Chronicles (Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrath. The chapters are fairly short and there are pictures throughout. This would be a great book to introduce a kid to chapter books. Kids that love animals, travel, and adventures will love this book. The story is concluded nicely, but there is room left for more books in the series.A wonderful, creative book in a great new series. Anyway who likes the The Field Guide (The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 1) or the Fablehaven series will like this book. The reading level is much easier than the Fablehaven series. I am looking forward to more adventures with Nathaniel and Aunt Phil in the future.
In 1928, when timid ten-year-old Nate learns that his parents have been lost at sea, he joins his father's cousin on a flight to Arabia where they must oversee the death and rebirth of the phoenix, thus beginning his training as a "beastologist."
This is a quick, easy read. Third through fifth graders would enjoy the novel. Nate is a likable character and students will like the elements of magic in the book. This is the first book in the series. Reluctant readers would enjoy the book .
Perfect book for boys looking foe a series but not yet ready for Percy Jackson. First In a series. Maps, good illustrations. Glossary at the end.
Nate’s parents have died whilst on an expedition and he is shipped off to a distant cousin he has never met. No sooner has he arrived than they are off to Arabia to oversee the birth of a phoenix. Apparently he is destined to become a beastologist - someone who studies rare and exotic beasts. Needless to say, things do not go smoothly and Nate is soon having an adventure even though he is not the sort of boy who enjoys adventures.With its exciting adventure, short chapters and frequent illustrations, this book would suit children ready to move on from the very first chapter books.
When Nate’s parents are declared missing (from a 3-year adventure at the North Pole), Aunt Phil A. Fludd takes him under her wing. Soon Nate, who has never been a real lover of adventure, finds himself, a talking dodo, and a gremlin, on an adventure to Arabia, where they will watch the birth of a phoenix. But on their first day in the desert, Aunt Phil is captured by Bedouins, leaving Nate alone with the phoenix egg. Can he protect the phoenix and save his aunt? This first book in the Nathaniel Fludd: Beastologist series heralds a promising new adventure series.
