Will there be a sequel to Cryptid Hunters and Tentacles? 885


I’ve gotten a lot of email since Tentacles came out asking if there will be a third book. You’re fast readers!

The answer is yes, and there will probably be more books after the third with Grace and Marty and the Cryptos Island gang.

Next question: “When will it be out?”

Answer: “I flattered, but the ink is barely dry on Tentacles. All I can say is that it will be out a lot sooner than Tentacles appeared after the first book, Cryptid Hunters.”

Next question: “Do you know the title?”

Answer: “No. I generally don’t come up with the title until after I finish a book.”

Next question: “Do you know what happens?”

Answer: “Yes.”

Last question: “Will you tell me what happens?”

Answer: “I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for the third book. Sorry.”

    Dear Roland Smith,

    I love all your books and can’t wait until book 3 of Cryptid Hunters come out. And I know that if the great and famous Noah Blackwood sends spies and cameras just to steal ideas from Travis Wolfe, it proves that Travis Wolfe is truly the best cryptidzoologist the world(or the world inside your book!) has ever known. Keep up the good work!

    Your Fan, Daejah (day-juh)

    You are one of my favorite authors icluding J.K. Rowling,Kathryn Laskey, and many more.So far I have read Elephant Run,Cryptid Hunters, and Tentacles.

  • Cedric

    Mr. Roland Smith, I’m only 13 years of age and I can’t stop reading. I’ve read every book that you’ve released so far. My favorite series by you was the “Zach’s Lie/Jack’s Run”. I beleive those two books are a stroke of genius. The “Cryptid Hunters/Tentacles” series ar e also great. I’m really looking foward to reading the many books you will publish. You inspire me. I would truely love to meet you in person.

    Great to hear that the new book is coming out theese are the best books I’ve read exept possibly the fablehaven series by Brandon mull if you haven’t read those you must beacuase they’re amazing too

  • mike

    So excited for the 3rd book, I read the end of tentacles and thought ‘theres gotta be a 3rd book’. I’ve read Crypted Hunters at least 5 or 6 times, and I’ve read tenatacles at least 4 times and am currently reading it now. please hurry with the 3rd (and possibly 4th?) boke(s).(Have you thought about making a movie for the series, it would be amazing!)

  • brandon kilzer

I know exactly who could play wolfe, the guy that plays the show ‘HOUSE’.)u’r my favorite auther. I’ve read Crypted Hunters, Tentacles, and (Elephant Run with a group in my class). awesome books. hope you make more than 4 crypted hunters books. Keep Writing!

  • abigail

    Dear Roland, I am a big fan of your works of literature. I have read tentacles 20 times (no joke it is that good)I’ve got some titles for the book I want to throw at you, journalists(a.k.a bloggers) you can say what you want to about it.

    My first idea is Noah’s Lair or Noah’s Ark(That is if it has a lot to do with Grace and Noah)

    My second idea is Hundreds of Eyes or The Dragon’s Eyes (relating to the dragonspy for both names but to Noah’s Spies for only the first idea)

    these are my ideas

  • Jack

    Man, I have to say that Cryptid Hunters was by far my most favorite book I have EVER read! I am 11 years old, and just love your books, and can’t stop reading them! If there will be a sequel to Cryptid Hunters, then I can’t wait! I haven’t read Tentacles yet because I all of them are already taken at Public Libraries!

  • Sally

    I just want to say your books are wonderful, and just like what mike.s says if you make a movie Wolfe should be Hugh Laurie. Anyway all of your books are great and I love all of them. Although it’s kinda funny when my teachers look at me when I’m reading your books because the librarian made them a 5th grade reading level when I’m in gifted along with 7th grade… I can say one more thing… I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE READING LEVEL!!! I will always love your books. 😀

  • Amy

    Thats good to hear but its been 3 years since tentacles came out. I’m dying to know what happens. hope it comes out soon.

  • ali

    I think tentacles is one of the best books I’ve ever read.I hope the sequal will come out soon!!!!

  • Katie

    My teacher had us read the first one in class, then for a lot of us it took off from there, so glad there will be a third. I read the second one in two hours, then read it again but slower. Love the Series!

  • Dylan Swinford

    I just got done reading cryptid hunters for a school project and I can honestly say this book is up there in one of my favorite next to the alex rider series and the ice mark chronicles. I thought that by the way it ended there was gonna be a second book and I am very excited to know there is one. I cant wait to buy it and add it to my collection of favorites if it is anywhere near as good as the first..

  • Corey Schulya

    I started to read the books about a week ago. They are the one of the most exciting and interesting books i have ever read. Along with the Hunger Games and the Percy Jackson books. Iv read some of your other books like iq. But the Cryptid Hunters is the best i hope the third book comes out some time in 2012 and i really would like you to make a movie on the books it would be awesome. Plus i think the titles should be called saving grace if that is what the books is about.

  • nickthequick

    Dear Roland Smith,
    I thank you very much for making the cryptid hunters series.I am home schooled and I read very fast, sometimes I used to read whole books during the night.I read Cryptid Hunters last year and I recently read tentacles. It took me just two days, and a few hours during the night. I must say, I really had a hard time putting it down to go take out the garbage.I was hoping you might use one of my ideas for an invention that could be made by Ted and Marty. I wear contacts so I got the idea of a lens just like a contact lens that works like a video camera and sends everything the user sees back to a computer screen. I hope you use my idea, but anyway I wish you good luck in your next cryptid books. I will definitely get my hands on them as soon as possible.
    your loyal reader,
    Nick

  • Hunter

    my teacher is reading the cryptid hunter series but wants to get the 3rd one so we can read it i absolutely love your books i have every single one

  • JJ

    Mr. Roland, since you have created a title for the third book does that mean your done with the book and it will be getting published soon? plus your books have insired me to wright my reasearch paper on cryptozoology! 🙂

  • abigail

    You didn’t really say what the title would be you just said, “At this point that’s the title. We’ll have to see if it sticks.” I understand if you don’t want to tell the world what you plan on the title to be, just saying you didn’t specify. I’ve got some more ideas if you want them just say so.

  • Phil

    I read the Cryptid Hunters series a long time ago and I’m going to read it again because I forget some of the things that happened in those books. I’ve also read The Hunger Games, but I gotta say, the Cryptid Hunters series is my all time favorite! Keep up the good work Mr. Smith!

    P.s. I also read Jaguar recently. It was awesome!!!

  • Elli

    Yes! I just finished Cryptid Hunters last night for the 6th time. Getting ready to read Tentacles for the 3rd time. I can’t wait for the third book to come out. You are THE BEST AUTHOR EVER!!! I also think you should write another book to Zach’s Lie and Jack’s Run, i’m wondring if he ever gets to see Cat again or not and I really like Sam.
