Summary:
In the darkest shadows of New Jersey lurks a legendary monster that is fierce, hungry - and obsessed with balloons. Elliot Eisner isn't exactly thrilled with the first day at his new school. His class is going on a field trip to a creepy forest called the Pine Barrens. The trip is being led by Professor Fauna, the weirdest teacher Elliot has ever met. And the only kid who will talk to Elliot, Uchenna Devereaux, isn't afraid of danger. She likes danger. Will Elliot and Uchenna face the Creature of the Pines...and survive? Is Professor Fauna just eccentric, or is he hiding something? And what is the Unicorn Rescue Society? Answers await in the shadows of the pines.
