Magoon will present his new graphic novel, "The Extincts: Quest for the Unicorn Horn (The Extincts #1)" on Sunday, March 27 at 2 p.m. Magoon's debut follows a team of genetically enhanced extinct animals as they embark on top-secret missions around the world, in what New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Dan Santat described as "part Indiana Jones and part James Bond."

He has published more than 25 picture books, including LINUS The Little Yellow Pencil, Breathe and The Boy Who Cried Bigfoot. He also illustrated Spoon and Chopsticks by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship by Jessica Kensky & Patrick Downes, and Misunderstood Shark by Ame Dyckman.
