In this sequel to Saint Philomene’s Infirmary for Magical Creatures, brother and sister Chance and Pauline return to a strange underground world filled with incredible creatures. Problem is, it’s secret journey, of sorts, because who would believe their fanciful tale? Even scarier, what if someone did believe them? Join author W. Stone Cotter as he talks about his creative process, unimaginable animals, and risking it all to save the world.W. Stone Cotter, Second Chance (Saint Philomene’s Infirmary for Magical Creatures #2)
