Willa the Wisp
FROM SARAH:
This zany short novel (or long picture book? it's hard to say what it is!) is the first in the Fabled Stables series. It's an excellent read-aloud for all ages, featuring a human boy who takes care of a stable of mythical creatures.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Auggie is the caretaker at the Fabled Stables, a home for one-of-a-kind creatures. Auggie is one-of-a-kind, too. He’s the only boy on the island, which can get a little lonely. Luckily, he’s got Fen, his trusty stick-in-the-mud. But, being a stick-in-the-mud, Fen can get more-than-a-little grumpy.
