    If you liked the movies Elf and Shrek, you’ll love THE ENCHANTED FILES—a magical, hilarious comedy series about fantastical creatures in the modern world by the bestselling author of My Teacher Is an Alien: Bruce Coville!
     
    Meet Gerald. Gerald is a griffin—a creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. According to the Code of the Griffins, that means he should be:
     
    1. Brave and fierce in all situations!
    2. A guardian of a great treasure!
    3. Completely and totally hidden from the humans!
     
    But what if a griffin ISN’T brave or fierce? What if he’s NEVER found a great treasure (or ANY treasure, for that matter)? What if he feels like such an embarrassment that the only thing left for him to do is run away? And what if the only place no one will look for him is . . . the human world?
     
    “Bruce Coville is a wizard at telling stories.” —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon
     
    “Hilarious. Middle-grade readers will be carried along by the buoyancy of the writing, the skillful design, and the humor on almost every page. Egg-ceptionally funny!” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Coville brings his signature wit and humor to this fantasy story. This second installment adds authentic and engaging, multidimensional characters to a strong series that finds heroes in outcasts.” —School Library Journal
     
    Praise for Cursed, the first book in THE ENCHANTED FILES:
     
    * “Coville brings it off with wit, style, and respect. The first volume of the Enchanted Files series is smart, amusing, and a lot of fun.” —Booklist, Starred
     
    “A knee-slapper.” —Kirkus Reviews
