From bestselling authors Maggie Stiefvater and Jackson Pearce comes an exciting new series full of magical creatures, whimsical adventures, and quirky illustrations.

Why we like it: Did you know that a unicorn’s horn is the “purest weapon in the natural world”? Pip Bartlett knows this. She knows a ton about magical creatures. She can also communicate with them. Young chapter book readers will delight in this whimsical fantasy and animal adventure book. Readers will especially enjoy the fun illustrations and labels. Also, there’s a chapter titled called, “Check Your Underwear.” It doesn’t get any better than that!
