Pip is a girl who can talk to magical creatures. Her aunt is a vet for magical creatures. And her new friend Tomas is allergic to most magical creatures. When things go amokand they often go amokPip consults Jeffrey Higglestons Guide to Magical Creatures, a reference work that Pip finds herself constantly amending. Because dealing with magical creatures like unicorns, griffins, and fuzzles doesnt just require book knowledgeit requires hands-on experience and thinking on your feet. For example, when fuzzles (which have an awful habit of bursting into flame when theyre agitated) invade your town, its not enough to know what the fuzzles arePip and Tomas also must trace the fuzzles agitation to its source, and in doing so, save the whole town.
