I listened to this audiobook and found it to be adorable. I really loved the adventure aspects and just how fun and fast pace this story was. I loved it so much. I read it so fast and just loved the characters a lot. I think younger kids will adore this book, because the kids really were the heroes in this story. I enjoyed how this book did tackle some history elements in the story telling. I def will be getting the sequel to read. This is great starter series for younger readers or even a great read aloud book as well. ( )

Note: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher at ALA Midwinter 2018.

Surprisingly delightful short chapter book -- pretty lighthearted and dramatic, but really good messages woven in throughout.

This series is better with the first book as context. It's still pretty overdramatically silly, but also more charming. This one set in the Pine Barrens and starring the Jersey Devil, but with a nice tangent into the melting pot of ancestry, and the acknowledgement of disenfranchised people hiding in history. Good shout out to the Lenni-Lenape tribe, and solid decision to invite Joseph Bruchac as a reader-consultant. Nicely crafted bedrock on which to launch a series.

It's Elliot Eisner's first day of school - three weeks into the school year - and the class is going on a field trip. Elliot makes friends with a punk-rock-appearing, danger-loving girl called Uchenna, and when they hear a sound in the Pine Barrens, he follows her off the path, and they discover...a Jersey devil. This leads to them being inducted into the Unicorn Rescue Society by Professor Fauna, a social studies teacher rumored to be crazy. More adventures coming soon...

Quotes

"Children!" Miss Vole said, and somewhere a dog woke up. (15)

"People are different, all over the world. Also, they are the same. This is what makes the world such a wondrous and wonderful place. Wondrous, for the differences. Wonderful, for the sameness." (Professor Fauna, 60)

"Children, your teacher is one of those ignorant people who believe that just because something is a myth, it cannot also be true. I have decided that you should not listen to your teacher." (Fauna, 74) ( )
