Creature Clinic - Paperback

by Gavin Aung Than (Author)

"A hilarious mix of pharmacy and fantasy that you won't want to miss!" --John Patrick Green, bestselling author of InvestiGators

Nurse, we've got a unicorn with a broken horn! Bring that healing potion--STAT!

Welcome to Creature Clinic, the world's finest--and only--hospital for mythical beings. Here, everyone from trolls and unicorns to tooth fairies and giants can expect the very best treatment. Well, with one exception. Humans are absolutely, 100 percent not welcome.

Doctor-in-training Kara Orc has worked hard and followed the rules her entire life to get where she is now. But when a human in need shows up at the hospital, her obedience is put to the test. Sure, most humans are dangerous, destructive beasts, but Kara took an oath to help all creatures. Even humans deserve care and compassion. How long can she keep such a big secret from her boss . . . who also happens to be her mother? And will her decision to do what's right cause a rift between Kara and her mom that no medicine can cure?
