Although I think that this book is for younger kids I enjoyed reading it. Pip Bartlett lives where unicorns and griffins are real and normal to everyone.Pip has a gift she can talk to the magical creatures and understand them. But after and unfortunate accident involving prideful unicorns Pip is sent to live with her magical creature vet aunt. While there Pip's aunt sets up a friendship between Pip and a boy who is allergic to everything. Then the fuzzles strike round balls of fur that explode into flame when threatened. This would not be a problem if there was not thousands of them destroying the area around Pip's aunt's clinic. In order to save the fuzzles from being exterminated Pip and her friend must find who or what is making all the fuzzles migrate. Can they save the fuzzles in time?

Here’s a list of things Pip Bartlett can talk to:
Unicorns
Miniature Silky Griffins
Bitterflunks
Basically, all magical creatures
Here’s a list of things she can’t talk to (at least, not very well):
Parents
Teachers
Basically, all people
Because of a Unicorn Incident at her school (it was an accident!), Pip is spending the summer with her Aunt Emma at the Cloverton Clinic for Magical Creatures. At first, it’s all fun, games, and chatting with Hobgrackles, but when Fuzzles appear and start bursting into flame at the worst possible places, Pip and her new friend Tomas must take action. Because if the mystery of the Fuzzles isn’t solved soon, both magical and unmagical creatures are going to be in a lot of trouble.

This book was pretty good. I enjoyed it and I really like Maggie Stiefvater's books, so that made it better! It is about a girl named Pip who can communicate with magical creatures. Her magical guide helps greatly with every little issue that pops up when it comes to magical creatures.
I like this book it was cool it had a lot of magical creatures. It was a good book to read to my cousin sis.
thought this would be like harry potter it kinda was but there was more creatures ive heard of in other books and on tv. it was pretty neat and i learned alot about where and how some of these creatures were thiiught of and even where they live and how to find them
When Pip causes a unicorn incident his parents send him to his aunt who runs a clinic for magical creatures.When fuzzles( cute furballs that light on fire when happy or excited) infest Cloverton the magical creature government calls exterminators to kill them Pip finds out that they are in the town because they are hiding from a predator. She transports the creature back to where it is supposed to be and all the fuzzles leave.
I usually don't like reading books about magic and fantasy, but I liked this book because it's more interesting than the other books with similar plots.
It was a fun book that got intense. The lady in the book was nasty but everything turned out right. I kind of wish there was a little more information about Pip's uncle Grady.
I like reading books about magic and this one was good. It was about a boy named Pip who investigates magical creatures like these little fireball things who like to hide in underwear drawers and riding a unicorn which resulted in ruining the fair and getting into big trouble. There were some funny parts but it was kind of long and slow to read.
Cool Looks Great!!
After a mishap and problems with school and parents, Pip is sent to her Aunt Emma's place, the clinic for magical creatures where everything starts out great but soon...
