First discovered and chronicled by self professed weebeastologist Micah Linton after years of research and 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 Finally enough intangible facts have been discovered and journal notes with detailed watercolor paintings have been archived to prove the existence of the fictional species “weebeasts” and that they are called by many things in different regions around the world such as gremlins,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. Now the author has amassed enough evidence to tell the story of the weebeasts for the first time.
Excerpt
a long time ago before the world turned a round
creatures lived in harmony without an evil sound

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books: A Review (and the Discovery of the Weebeasts)
We met author/illustrator Micah Linton, and his lovely wife Sheila, and learned so much about a subject we knew nothing about. Micah is an authority, an expert really, on Weebeasts and has written and published two books about them: "Weebeasts Book One: Origins," and "Weebeasts Book Two: Plight." Just what are Weebeasts..? "Weebeasts are known by many names in different regions around the world. Gremlins, Pixie, Goblin, Elf, Troll, Gnome."
"Weebeasts," written as an epic poem, will appeal to those children who have an adventurous side; those who'd like to travel to far-off lands and learn about ancient civilizations. Charlie definitely falls into that camp, and, after reading the first book, is ready for the second. (While I read it as an allegory about colonialism and the subjugation of indigenous peoples, the target audience will just think it's cool.) Micah's illustrations are so inventive and unique, I tip my hat to him (well, I would if I wore a hat).
Visit the Weebeasts website to see their page-by-page illustrations. Sound interesting..?
