A team of extinct animals embark on top-secret missions around the world in this new graphic novel series!

Meet Scratch, Martie, Lug, and Quito, members of a secret organization called R.O.A.R., or the Rescue Ops Acquisition Rangers. When their boss, Dr. Z, finally calls on them for their first big mission, the team heads to Siberia to retrieve an ancient unicorn horn from the thawing permafrost. Scratch is thrilled at the chance to prove his worth to Dr. Z—but as soon as they land, the team runs into a mysterious enemy determined to take them down.

With exciting missions, plenty of humor, and an environmental angle, this series starter from New York Times bestselling illustrator Scott Magoon is an action-packed adventure from start to finish. The book will also include nonfiction back matter about extinct animals, climate change, and what kids can do to help!

Get your copy of The Extincts before they vanish!

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my 7yo and nearly 5yo because they love adventure themes and graphic novels. The Extincts had them engaged and excited to keep reading. There was quite a tantrum when I had to put the bookmark in at bedtime and save our place for the next day. Scott Magoon always delivers with his children's book illustrations, and this graphic novel medium shows that he is just as capable at entertaining an older audience with a more James Bond-esque moody color palette. Though the book is marketed for middle school readers, my first grader loved reading it with me and on her own and got many of the puns and jokes. My nearly 5yo loved the different vehicles, gear, and the "baddie" in the story. No matter the age of your kiddos, The Extincts will not be lost on them!

9 year old boy review - funny and factual

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

All of the characters are extinct animals and they are part of a gang on missions all over the world. My favorite character is Lug - the wooly mammoth because he will do anything for his friends. The drawings of him are awesome. I loved the humor. It was hilarious but it was also factual and I learned a lot. I leaned about global warming and how it effects the Earth. I leaned about extinct animals like the Siberian unicorn. I leaned about the Batagaika Crater and how it happened because of melted frost. My favorite part is when the Extincts go into Batagaika Crater and they meet other extinct animal zombies and Lug needs to use his trumpet blast and it backfires and he farts! Oh and there are directions for a cooler science experiment at the end.

A+ Graphic Novel for Middle Grade Readers

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

The graphic novel, The Extincts, is a fast-paced adventure which appeals to elementary and middle school readers. The artwork matches the tone of the books as the characters work together to uncover the horn of a Siberian Unicorn and save the world. The back matter is exceptional and lends itself for additional discussion about extinction and global warming. I can't keep copies of The Extincts on the shelf in my school library.

My 10yo and 12yo ate this book up within two days of it arriving in the house! They loved the story, the quirky extinct animal characters, and my son even said he loved that it has a good message. A great read for Earth Day or any day!

The Extincts is FANTASTIC!

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2022

Scott Magoon gives extinct animals a new life and purpose in his exciting new graphic novel. One thing is for certain, Magoon's ability to pull the reader in with his dynamic artwork, unique characters and storyline promises to keep young readers engaged till the end. His fun and pun-filled dialogue blends well with info on climate change. The Extinctiary at the end is a treasure trove of fascinating facts and leaves you wanting more! Fantastic!

Adventure, fun facts and awesome illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2022

My 9-year-old loves this action-packed graphic novel. It's got the right amount of heart and humor mixed with informational elements that hooked his curiosity. Oh, and puns. Lots of puns - what could be better than that? So far he's read it at least 4 times and even went to find out more about the animals in the book. All in this book was a great addition to our library.
