Waiting on The Menagerie

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event here @ Inkk, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: The Menagerie by Tui T & Kari Sutherland

The Menagerie

by Tui T. Sutherland, Kari Sutherland

Expected publication: March 12th 2013 by HarperCollins

Goodreads Summary: 

Logan Wilde is accidentally drawn into the mysterious, dangerous world of the Menagerie when he discovers a griffin hiding under his bed . . . and it leads him straight to the weirdest girl in seventh grade, Zoe Kahn.

Zoe is panicking. Her family has been guarding the Menagerie for centuries. If they don't get the cubs back fast, the whole place will be shut down. To save the griffins' lives, she's willing to break all the rules, even if it means letting an outsider like Logan help. But the real mystery remains: Is someone trying to sabotage the Menagerie?

Who let the griffins out...and why?

So, I know this book is MG but the word "Menagerie" is one of my most favorite words in the world.  Plus this is a story about missing baby griffins.  Say it with me...  "Awwwww"!
