What do you do with a sick dragon, a concussed troll, or a unicorn with a broken horn? You take them to the only place that can help: Creature Clinic! From Super Sidekicks creator and New York Times-bestselling cartoonist Gavin Aung Than comes this action-packed and heart-warming graphic novel set in a magical hospital.

Welcome to Creature Clinic, where a team of dedicated doctors and nurses at the world's finest—and only—hospital look after mythical creatures. 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% not welcome.

So when doctor-in-training Kara Orc discovers an injured human child at the hospital, her world is turned upside down. Sure, most humans are dangerous, destructive beasts, but Kara took an oath to help all creatures. Even humans deserve care and compassion! But how long can she keep such a big secret from her boss … who happens to be her mother? And what happens when the human child – whose name is Mitch – decides that he wants to stay at Creature Clinic?
