Creatures including the Gargantula, the Yawning Abyss, the Hippopotamouse . . . and Auggie. Auggie is the only human boy at the Stables, and he takes care of all the other animals. The Fabled Stables have a mind of their own, and every so often, the building SHAKES and SHUDDERS, TWITCHES and SPUTTERS--it's making room for a new arrival! It's Auggie's job to venture out and rescue a new creature from mortal danger. But will he be able to complete his mission before it's too late? With some help from Fen (a literal stick-in-the-mud) and his animal companions, Auggie saves the day and makes a new friend in the process. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Whimsical fantasy with the right amount of speed and cleverness for the audience."--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Words and pictures partner to create a captivating, promising series starter that boasts quirky secondary characters and a sympathetic hero." --<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><br>"Demidova's chapter illustrations sparkle with whimsy and color <b>a</b>nd appear on almost every page, pulling double duty by enhancing the story and supporting children ready to step beyond leveled reader. . .
