THE CREATURE OF THE PINES #1
April 2018

Elliot Eisner isn’t exactly excited about starting at a brand-new school in a brand-new town; he’d much rather stay at home and read a book. But things take an unexpected turn when he finds out his weird new teacher, Professor Fauna, has planned a field trip for Elliot’s very first day. Along with a new friend–brave, outspoken Uchenna Devereaux–Elliot gets caught up in 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.

Adam Gidwitz is the author of the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling “Grimm” trilogy. He spent six years researching and writing his Newbery Honor-winning “The Inquisitor’s Tale”, including a year living in Europe.
