Series: The Fabled Stables

The Fabled Stables are home to oneofakind creatures. Creatures like the Gargantula, the Yawning Abyss, the Bizzybees, and Auggie. Auggie is the only human boy on the island, and he takes care of all the other creatures. Sometimes, the Stables make space for new arrivals. When this happens, Auggie must strike out into the Wide World to save these creatures from danger and give them refuge at the Stables. In Book #1, Willa the Wisp is being pursued by the Rooks, an evil band of hunters. With some reluctant help from Fen (a literal stickinthemud), Auggie saves the day and makes a few new friends in the process. With lush, fullcolor illustrations throughout, this new series from New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Auxier is sure to delight readers of all ages.
