She likes danger.  Elliot and Uchenna are about to become part of a secret group of adventures. The Unicorn Rescue Society, whose goal is to protect and defend the world's mystical 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 Newberry Honor-winning author of The Inquisitors Tale and A Tale Dark & Grimm.  Registration is required for this event!
