Tucked away in the forests of Salem, Massachusetts sits Wanderton College. By outward appearances, it is like any other centuries old stone and wrought-iron building of its age. Inside, however, there are lessons rarely taught in school… or anywhere else.
Professor Jacob Cessair has come to Wanderton to fulfill the dying wish of his childhood friend; albeit 150 years behind schedule. Now, the professor is using his classes to teach unusual lessons and his students find themselves learning much more than they bargained for.
Will the professor end up educating his students, or is it he who has something to learn from them?
The second semester of Professor Jacob Cessair’s Cryptozoology course is ready to commence. Though the previous term provided unforeseen challenges and dangers beyond any of their expectations, the class is anxious to return.
With some experience under their belt, they prepare to tackle the professor’s newest grouping of beasties with a new level of confidence. Once again, however, it appears the life lessons they are faced with may be more challenging than even the most bizarre and obscure subject matter.
Will the students succeed at finding the elusive creatures they’ve been assigned to study, or will the most important lessons they learn be about themselves?
