Introducing the second book in the The Enchanted Files! Told in diary entries and more, it's a new magical, modern-day comedy series by the master of funny fantasy and 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 human realm!
 
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 to do is run away? And what if the only place no one will look for him is . . . the human world?
 
This laugh-out-loud adventure, full of humor and heart, is ideal for fans of Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library or Chris Grabenstein.

"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

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great, fun read.

    My 12 year old has loved the books in The Enchanted Files series, Hatched included. Its often times hard to find stories that are clean for this age bracket, but this one fits that bill for sure. Very fun imaginative read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Friendship!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2016
    I just finished Bruce Coville's HATCHED, a very comforting adventure, building on trust and cooperation. I wish we could appoint Bruce to re-write this pesky real world. <3
    I love the shifting point-of-view human/griffin/gnome and the positive outlook, “The fact that bunnies exist in both the Enchanted Realm and the human world is proof that the Great Griffin loves us.” Pages from “official” documents added another perspective.
    Bradley’s simplified style for his assigned journal, in contrast with his personal journal, gave me pause (all those years of teaching), but his reasoning made sense in a way.
    “I know all too well the secret ways of bullies. They hide themselves brilliantly.” Are his teachers in for a surprise when he shows his real abilities!
    It was a bit easier to keep all the viewpoints straight in the written version, but the CD was so well done, that I enjoyed both. Now I want a griffin friend, maybe a ride?

    4.0 out of 5 stars A humorous tale of friendship and courage
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2017
    This charming little book was told in journal entries, proclamations, newspaper articles, etc and featured a number of mysteries. What is the embarrassing story behind griffin Gerald's Hatchday? Where is human Brad's dad? What secret plan does gnome teacher Abelard Chronicus have that made him encourage Gerald to flee the Enchanted Realm? Gerald and Brad meet and become friends, tangle with gnomes, and go on a noble (mini) quest together. Both of them maintain journals and those are the primary means of conveying the story. Each has a trademark humorous writing quirk: Gerald writes really bad poems and Brad likes to use odd food related exclamations like "holy flying Butterball turkeys!". Personality-wise Gerald is a fretting, dithering, high-strung griffin who is also (much against the mottos of the griffins) a complete scaredy cat. Brad is brave and curious as well as patient with Gerald's shortcomings. Together they have some interesting adventures and help each other with their shortcomings. The author did a good job of bringing Gerald, Brad, and Master Abelard to life. I found myself growing more interested as the story went on--especially once I got better used to Gerald's nervous, self-doubting personality! While not as good as the previous Diary of a Mad Brownie, I think kids will enjoy the humor and friendship of this story.
