Augie is the only human boy in the Fabled Stables which houses one of a kind creatures like the Yawning Abyss, the Gargantula and the Hippopotamouse. Auggie’s job is to venture outside and use his cleverness to rescue new endangered creatures. The first in a new series with colorful art throughout, this whimsical tale will capture younger readers than Auxier’s Peter Nimble fans but like Nimble, will leave each one anticipating the next.
