Series: The Unicorn Rescue Society

The fourth adventure of the Unicorn Rescue Society, co-authored by Pura Belpre Honor-winning author David Bowles, comes to paperback, featuring fun and lively cover art and a new bonus story continuing the adventure of The Secret Order of the Unicorn.

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.

INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS STORY about the medieval Secret Order of the Unicorn!

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?
