"Newt Scamander has nothing on Cordelia Clay. When her father and their motley menagerie of rescued and carefully tended magical creatures disappear one night, she and her friend Gregory determines to follow their (slimy green) trail along with a baby dragon, a flatulant filch, and a loyal zuppy (zombie puppy) in Lauren Oliver's rousing adventure about love, loyalty, evolutionary science, and the true nature of monstrosity."
