About the author

Kathleen Duey grew up in Colorado. She loved riding her horses, hiking, being in the mountains. Reading was always important to her. Writing became a fascination early in her life. In the fourth grade, Kathleen began writing stories and told everyone who would listen that she was going to be an author. Then she did nothing about it until she was 35 years old. Writing was her passion and her dream-come-true.

Kathleen died of cardiac arrest at her home in Fallbrook, California. She was 69. She had struggled with dementia in her latter years which prevented her from completing her Skin Hunger trilogy.

„Тайната на еднорога“ е поредица от 8 илюстровани детски романа, които се четат на един дъх. Сюжетът разказва за малката Харт Авамир, сираче, отгледано от Саймън Прат – груб селянин, който я е открил преди години край реката. Харт няма никакви спомени преди този ден. При все, че е дал подслон на момичето, Саймън съвсем не е обичлива бащинска фигура. Харт е помощник, полезна работна ръка, но не и дъщеря. Отначало Саймън дори не е дал име на детето. Нарича я просто „момиче“, докато местната лечителка, Рут Оукс, не й дава име. Харт мечтае за семейство, да разбере кои са родителите й… Единственото, което знае за тях е, че преди да я оставят край реката те са я повили в красиво одеяло със избродирани сребърни еднорози. Уви, Саймън отдавна го е продал… Прочетете повече на "Книжни Криле": https://knijnikrile.wordpress.com/202...

Individually these books are great for 2nd - 3rd graders who are starting to read books with chapters. The collections book is great for 4th graders and beyond.

I found a few typos but the imagery in this story is really great. I read it so that I could talk with my pupils about the story and have some knowledge as they read it, but I found that I enjoyed the plot of the story myself. I bought the collections book because I found myself wanting to know what happens next.

This book is better than you would expect!
I would read it to: kids you're babysitting, your younger sister, or even read it
yourself if your interested in fantasy!
BEWARE this is not just one book its four books in one, so don't expect another!

Believe it or not, this was actually pretty entertaining for a second/third grade-level book. Solid characters, solid story, and some lovely illustrations by Omar Rayyan. Read this series to your kids at bedtime...and then read it for yourself just for fun!
