Another good installment. There was some impossible travel and timing that bothered me, but the kids didn't mind. And honestly it would have been difficult to get around those limitations and have it be believable in other ways (parents letting their kids travel to Europe at a moment's notice with a teacher they don't know isn't very likely either). But I liked that this book introduced some actual history and some information about the Basque country, and entertained some themes of cultural diversity. Some good jumping off points for discussion nestled in with the action and adventure. Good role models too, with a strong black female character and a respectful, rule-abiding boy, too. Alice read this on her own before we read it as a family.
There's not much to say. This is a second book in the Unicorn Rescue Society. I probably won't read another book in this series but I do know my students will love it.

Fun for early readers so take my review with a grain of salt. My daughter certainly enjoyed this installment though I felt the ending was rather rushed and much of the story didn’t involve dragons at all.
**NOT MY USUAL READ**
Welp my school is doing a "Battle of the books"
They've roped me in and now I am falling into some elementary school reads *gasp*
Anyways!!! Completely enjoyed every aspect of this one. I did the audio version and enjoyed every part of it.

These books are quick and fun reads with your kids. My daughter really enjoys theM and asks what we thinks going to happen next while we read the story. And of course you can’t help but lover Jersey.
I received a digital review copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Another fun adventure! I really enjoyed the inclusion of research/explanation of the Basque people and their language. The first book felt a little more fantastical, though, as the dragons in this one are primarily only spoken about and don't actually appear until the very end of the book. I would love to read more about the magical creatures in future books!

This series is so much fun. I love the hidden mythological animals that they must protect, and each one is just set the next day. Poor kid having a rough first week at his new school.
This one felt like it had less mystery to me, but it was cool to get more back story on Professor Fauna and the society members.
