      Synopsis

      Continue the epic adventures of the weebeasts with the second book in the series. Follow the weebeasts as their civilization advances and grows, exploring the world with innovative inventions of all kinds.

      First discovered and chronicled by self professed weebeastologist Micah Linton, after years of exhaustive research and physically challenging expeditions. Finally enough intangible facts have been discovered and journal notes with detailed watercolor paintings have been archived to prove the existence of the fictional species "weebeasts" and that they are called by many things in different regions around the world such as gremlins, pixies, goblins, elves, trolls, gnomes not to mention a variety of other names depending on geographical mythology and local folklore.

      Biography

      Micah Linton spends most of his time working in his art studio, traveling, or strolling along the Venice Beach boardwalk with his wife and daughter. After eleven years of creating stories and art for top selling video games, Linton decided to turn his focus to creating a world in which creatures and landscapes captivate the reader.

      July 17, 2009: What do you know about the lives and activities of the little creatures that inhabit the realm of myth and legend? The "weebeasts," which are called by many things in different regions around the world such as gremlins, pixies, goblins, elves, trolls, and gnomes, in addition to a variety of other names depending on local folklore, once had a home, but they were not nice to their neighbors and had to leave. They search high and low for a new home, taking some risks that were silly but along the way learning new things and inventing new machines. As they continue their travels to look for a home, they find that some places are too wet or too dry or too hot or too cold. Will they ever find a new home? What will happen to them? After years of creating stories and art for top video games companies such as Activison and Dreamworks, self professed "weebeastologist" Micah Linton has turned his creative talent and imagination to telling the story of the weebeasts. Weebeasts: Plight is the second book in the children's picture book series about weebeasts. In Weebeasts Book One: Origins you can discover the origins of weebeasts. In addition to the reading books, there is a three volume boxed set of Weebeastology books, in which the "Weebeastology Discovery Team" has compiled a remarkable series of pictures left behind by the weebeasts showing what life is like in their world. There are no words ("alas, these unique creatures left no language to go with the pictures; the interpreter must decide what these scenes represent"), but the Weebeastology books are filled with more Weebeast illustrations. Depending upon their tastes, some people may not care for the drawings, but most youngsters who like reading about and looking at pictures of small fictional beings should find the books interesting and enjoy them. In addition, there are subtle but important lessons embedded in the story, such as the need of being kind to others, learning from past mistakes, and the joy of good friendships. I found the tale fascinating and am looking forward to learning more about the weebeasts and their experiences.

      May 15, 2009: Once upon a time, the weebeasts had a home. As a result of some unfortunate choices, they find themselves in search of a new place to live. And during their journey, they make some fascinating discoveries.

      In Weebeastology, Vol. 1, author and illustrator Micah Linton introduced us to these fictional beings. By providing the pictures without the words, he invited children to discover the story of the weebeasts for themselves. Weebeasts Plight was created for a younger audience and provides the story line along with pencil and watercolor illustrations.

      The weebeasts learn a lesson in how to play nice with others. They also discover that it's exciting to go out and explore new places. Kids will have fun joining these unique creatures on a wonderful journey to their new home.
