In this book Zoe arrives at the Unicorn kingdom but everything is flooded and she starts to drown in a water whirlpool and then suddenly she sees sorrel who saves her and takes her to the mountain where they find out that this is shadows work and then they tell her that the unicorn king when to see the river fairies for the spell that can control waters.But because he hasn’t arrived after a long time Astra and Zoe think that they should go to find the king 👑 They ask Tio for help and he gives them the spell to enter the river when they enter they meet Iris who is the apprentice to the river guardian .She is quite mean.they meet the water fairy and she tells them about the cursed castle and how to spell is there but the castle is cursed and that that’s why he went alone.
Zoe and Astra go to find him with iris who is very rude.Zoe and Astra go into the castle without iris and they find the king but he is very weak because the curse was in the treasure chest where the spell was.He tells them to go and say the spell with the gaurdians.And by Woking together Zoe and Astra are able to put the waters back into the river.
The unicorns king comes out of the water and gives the black oyster 🦪 to them that can make anyone’s true desire come true and he gives it to them before lying down because he is still tired and lost all his power and strength the guardians tell Zoe to make to king better again with the oyster and she does it and then everyone is happy.😆

My daughter and I love reading Zanna Davidson's Fairy Unicorns series!
The stories are action-packed with a great formula for young girls: unicorns and magic, a secret world that a little girl can enter, an evil pony to overcome. There are positive, useful themes, revolving around making friends and being brave and being true to yourself to overcome negative forces.
The illustrations are beautiful and the book format is gorgeous: hardcover with a ribbon bookmark. I taught my daughter how to open the book using the ribbon bookmark and she was delighted to learn this trick.
Great quality reading for six-year-olds. We are reading the Fairy Ponies series next!

Read this series during January and beginning of February. And this was part 4. It keeps the same concept as the others, although in this one they're underwater. And, the only place, the writer actually tries to add some scariness (for the age) and succeeds! At least according to kiddo, so that was good! Scary castles with curses are always a win concept. So that's the biggest plus in this one, otherwise it was the same sugar sweetness as the others. Works good reading for your kid.

As with the earlier book in this series, this is a good book for the developing reader. The author has good descriptive writing without overcomplication. The plot is similar to the other one but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I would recommend these books as bedtime reads.

This book was very similar to the others in the set. I felt like this one didn’t have as much action in it as the others at the beginning of the series and was a bit anticlimactic. It was still very well-written and original, like the others in the set. My daughter loves these books.

Of course, my six-year-old daughter has been loving this series, but surprisingly my eight-year-old son has been loving it even more – he even requests it when it’s his time to choose. Bring on the next one.

Audrey's first chapter book that she listened to from beginning to end!

Perfect book to read in tandem with a 6 year old. Nice story, some words more challenging and easy to take breaks after 6-8 pages and continue the next evening.

My kids loved it :)

I think it was a good story. And I also think that the unicorn learned how to do her magic by helping, and with her friend. I think it was the best story ever.

Follows the same plot pattern a the other books before but you do see some growth in the characters. These are fun reads with my dd.
