Dan Santat.
Ten-year-olds Pearl and Ben start their apprenticeships at Dr. Woo's hospital for imaginary creatures and are told to stay inside. But when Pearl sees a huge lake monster outside, she and Ben simply must investigate. This entertaining tale, illustrated with verve by Santat, combines fantastical creatures, a wacky veterinarian, humor, tension, and implausible fun. End matter includes activities and information about the creatures.
