Hurry! — Emily Arnold McCully

When ten-year-old Tom Elson first sees the farivox, he senses it's an animal unlike anything he's ever known--and it seems to be smiling at him! But can an animal really speak? What would the farivox say to Tom? And what message would it give us about the future of our planet? Emily Arnold McCully adapts a previously published fantasy about a boy who wants to own a creature that is the last of its kind.
