Pura Belpre Honor-winning author David Bowles joins Newbery Honor-winning Adam Gidwitz as co-author of the newest Unicorn Rescue Society adventure, as the kids travel to the U.S.-Mexican border to help the legendary chupacabras.

A new adventure begins for Elliot and Uchenna when Professor Fauna bursts into their classroom with

a frightening report from the Texas-Mexico border- something has completely drained the blood from

a cow's body! The team must fly to Laredo, where tempers are running high.

Teaming up with local kids Lupita and Mateo-plus their brilliant mother, Dr. Alejandra Cervantes, and her curandero husband, Israel-can the Unicorn Rescue Society save the region's animals and help bring a divided community together once more? And what is that spiny, bloodsucking, adorable little creature?

Praise for the Unicorn Rescue Society series: As facts are interwoven and also combined with a multitude of puns, the narrative is informative and lighthearted.... Learning while laughing is the goal, and it is achieved. -School Library Journal An easy, fun hook for readers. - The New York Times Book Review A rollicking tale with engaging characters and an irresistible premise. -Booklist
