    About The Creature of the Pines

    A New York Times bestseller—now available in paperback.

    INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS STORY about the medieval Secret Order of the Unicorn!

    Unicorns are real.     (At least we think they are.)
     
    Are you ready to protect the creatures of myth and legend? Then you belong in The Unicorn Rescue Society. HURRY–THE CREATURES NEED YOU!
     
    Elliot Eisner isn’t exactly thrilled with the first day at his new school. His class is going on a field trip to a creepy forest called the Pine Barrens. The trip is being led by Professor Fauna, the weirdest teacher
    Elliot has ever met. And the only kid who will talk to Elliot, Uchenna Devereaux, isn’t afraid of danger. She likes danger.
     
    Elliot and Uchenna are about to become part of a secret group of adventurers, The Unicorn Rescue Society, whose goal is to protect and defend the world’s mythical creatures. Together with Professor Fauna, Elliot and Uchenna must help rescue a Jersey Devil from a duo of conniving, greedy billionaires, the Schmoke Brothers.
     
    Join Elliot and Uchenna on their very first quest as members of the Unicorn Rescue Society in this fantasy-adventure series from Adam Gidwitz, the beloved bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of The Inquisitors Tale and A Tale Dark & Grimm.

    Illustrated throughout, this is the perfect fit for newly independent readers looking for a story full of adventure, fun, and friendship.

    “An easy, fun hook for readers.” – The New York Times Book Review

    “A rollicking tale with engaging characters and an irresistible premise.” –Booklist
