Description
"Suri loves monsters―studying their lore, telling stories about them (for a fee), and―she hopes―one day taming them. Unfortunately, no one takes an orphan street-urchin who travels with a merchant camp very seriously. But Suri’s self-confidence, cleverness, and ambition serve her well when a mysterious new wagon joins her camp―holding something very big, very loud, and very monstrous."

But the treasure at the heart of the mole king's lair might be the solution to their problem!"--
