Mini Book Reviews

The Creature of the Pines (MG)

by Adam Gidwitz

In this first volume of the Unicorn Rescue Society, two children discover something extra strange on their most unusual field trip.

I first heard about this series on the Books Between podcast, in an episode where she shares her students’ top 20 favorite books. It definitely deserves to be on the list—it was fun, light, and quick, and I can’t wait to read the next in the series. The characters were diverse, funny, and well-developed. I would definitely recommend this to young readers.
