Summary

A sweeping and magical story collection showcasing the mythical creatures of Southeast Asia, including work by two-time Newbery medalist Erin Entrada Kelly and National Book Award finalist Shing Yin KhorA turtle the size of an island. A cricket that can possess you if swallowed. A giant who turns enemies to stone. The legends of Southeast Asia—or "the lands below the winds," as explorers used to call it—are populated with a whole menagerie of colorful beasts that inspire awe and fear in equal measure.Yet, passed on as they are through story and song, so many of these stories remain rooted in some long-forgotten past and bound by the borders of the region, creatures of myth and memory and nothing more. Until now.Welcome to The Beasts Beneath the Winds, a collection of Southeast Asia's most elusive cryptids by a team of bestselling and award-winning authors. Listeners will find the stories of seventeen regular kids who encounter these mythical creatures in the here and now, and—fortunately or unfortunately—live to tell the tale.
