About This Book
Lindee the forest fairy and Max the unicorn sneak through a bustling human town, disguised as a girl and her dog. Suddenly, a shadowy figure darts behind an alley wall—could it be a goblin or something even trickier? Their magical adventure is just beginning when a mysterious howl echoes nearby.
