Crossing paths at an inn, thirteenth-century travellers impart the tales of a monastery oblate, a Jewish refugee, and a psychic peasant girl with a loyal greyhound, the three of whom join forces on a chase through France to escape persecution.

Each night, a young girl's Auntie Fatma puts her to bed, singing a lullaby filled with rich imagery of her home in Egypt. As Auntie Fatma sings, we are given a glimpse of modern Cairo, from boats making their way down the Nile to gentle calls to prayer from the mosques to young children joyfully playing soccer in the streets.

"Elliot and Uchenna join Professor Fauna on another adventure--a trip to the Basque country where they have to save a herensuge from the billionaire Schmoke Brothers"--Provided by publisher.

When Professor Fauna spots a unicorn horn mounted on the wall of the Schmoke Brothers' living room, the Unicorn Rescue Society heads to the Himalayan mountains of Northern Pakistan to finally see a unicorn themselves.

One perfect rhyming story. One interrupting sister. A totally ruined rhyme! Or is it? Adventure might be made more fun together, rhyme by daring rhyme.
