But as the long-buried dangers of Unicorn Island begin to surface and a mysterious scourge spreads throughout the herd, Sam learns the truth behind Aunt Sylvie’s disappearance and her own connection to the island.

Unicorn Island is a magical story that has everything a young mind could want in an adventure, with plenty of fantasy and fact to inspire…the young and the old alike.
Foggy Harbor has begun to feel like home since Sam made a friend and discovered a magical island full of unicorns and other magical creatures. Now…their immortality is threatened and she searches for a cure, finding a secret from her past that links her to the future of the herd.
Sam had learned her Uncle Mitch’s legacy was to protect the herd and keep the secret of the island that was hidden by a fog bank. He was training Sam and her friend, Tuck, to be unicorn protectors.
When Donna Galanti mentioned elephants evolution and tusks (yes, I am talking real elephants), I had to check it out and see if it was real. I urge you to do the same.
Love. Selflessness. Devotion. Courage.
“…Science and magic together can create wondrous things…”
I loved this wonderful adventure into the magical world of Unicorn Island, with fabulous characters and magical creatures that work together to save the unicorns and the island. Not only does it have a gorgeous cover, but it holds factual tidbits at the end of the story to inspire young minds.

Once again, Donna Galanti delivers a sweet, fantasy-filled adventure great for younger middle grade readers! This story picks up where the last left off, following Sam as she works with her friends and loved ones to figure out why her beloved unicorns' horns are shrinking. The author's descriptions are detailed and vivid, and the characterization is spot on. This is a wonderful series for unicorn lovers as well as reluctant readers!

Any world with unicorns in it is a better one. That’s a given! So of course I wanted to read these books. Overall, I enjoyed the characterization. I probably liked new best friend Tuck and grumpy Uncle Mitch best, but that’s me. I like how Sam and Tuck came together with a complementary friendship.
The exposition of the secrets of Unicorn Island worked well. The first book ends satisfactorily enough, but it was clear that another book was planned.
Book two carries on with Sam and Tuck learning to be unicorn protectors, and Sam is loving it. Of course, life can’t carry on so happily, and there are problems and more revelations to be dealt with. The door is definitely open for this story to continue!
For me, the narrative style skewed toward the younger end of the intended audience, and Sam read younger than 12 to me—a bit innocent and naïve. There’s nothing really trailblazing here in either narrative or plot. That’s not to say it isn’t a good read; it’s just not an exciting read.
The illustrations are a definite plus in these books, helping the reader to visualize the atmospheric setting.
Possible Objectionable Material:
There are fantasy creatures. A single parent must travel for work, so their child has to stay with an unfamiliar uncle. Deception. Perilous situations.
Who Might Like These Books:
Unicorn fans! Those who like a little fantasy in their stories. Those who like friendships and protecting living creatures. Especially readers in the younger end of the suggested range.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing ARCs in exchange for my opinions.

In the first book in the Unicorn Island series, Sam moved in with her Uncle Mitch in Foggy Harbor, South Carolina. While living with him, she discovered his secret, that he is the fog keeper, or the caretaker for the unicorns that are housed on an island that is shrouded behind a mist of fog. When one of the newborns falls ill, Sam and her new friend, Tuck race to provide a cure that will save the young unicorn.
In the second book in the Unicorn Island series, Sam and Tuck are now apprentice unicorn protectors, assisting in the care and protection of the herd. When the young unicorn they saved in the previous book, Barloc becomes sickly, Sam begins to question whether the herd is being infected by a new disease. Something is certainly spreading through the rest of the unicorns, causing their magic to be drained and the whole herd is at risk for losing their horns. Can Tuck, Sam and Uncle Mitch find out what is stressing the herd and deal with the threat before the herd becomes mortal?
One of the first things that I enjoy about each of these stories are the full color illustrations by Bethany Stancliffe, the bright colors of the sun, grass, flowers and of course the beautiful unicorns. The illustrations really add to the story and have huge kid appeal. I also really enjoyed the inclusion of Grendell, the sand creature and especially the resolution of the story. Sam finally received some answers she'd been waiting for, and the story left an opening for her to connect with her mother, which I am especially hopeful for. At the end of the book, Galanti includes questions for the reader, things like what are horns made of? What is an invasive species? Each seeming to tie back to the story and highlighting various scientific facts. Give this to a kid who enjoyed Adam Gidwitz's The Unicorn Rescue Society or the Unicorn Academy Series by Julie Sykes.

The very welcome introduction to this series (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)
showed us a young girl learning that her uncle is a guardian to a permanently mist-enshrouded island, which is home to a herd of unicorns he must protect. This then is the first chance of seeing what a whole book's worth of drama can bring, when the character and setting are all established. And in finding from the get-go that all the unicorns are losing everything – their magic, their horns, their mojo, their status as non-horses – we can be guaranteed the drama levels will be high.
Which might have meant this series was falling apart early on, for the charms previously were of the more gentle, old-school style – not too quaint for the current audience but not as sugar-rushed as other volumes for their age. But you know what? Nothing falls apart. Right from the off we're almost in a different kind of book, yes, but the panache and exuberance of the story here, and the way it's the whole island that is seemingly attacking the magic and the unicorns, are really strong plus-points. So even if we're getting a more current, 2020s vibe, any loss of the more serene old-fashionedness is not really felt. Yes, the story hinges around one (or is it two?) instances of prejudice and a lot hangs on that being a moral, and yes (not to spoil anything) the family-building is cheesy, but this is still all positive.
And I was still left wanting more, still not knowing what kind of beast the third book would be... Four and a half stars, once again...

This story was brilliant. This is the second book in the series and we didn't read the first book. This didn't stop our enjoyment of the story one bit, we just loved every minute of it. My 9 year old read this fantastic story to me. She loved it that much she went to bed 90 mins before her bedtime just so she could finish this book and thats saying something. The story-line was thrilling and there was so much enjoyment in the story. It was so well wrote and very appropriate for the age range of 8-12 years old. The pictures in this book were wonderful and full wonderful colours. This book great hidden messages teaching our children how to work together to solve problems and that sometimes we have to sacrifice what we want to help others in need. I love it when books with a beautiful story teaches our children such wonderful morals. This book would be perfect for any horse loving child and brilliant for schools and libraries.
Many thanks to the author and publishing team for creating this beautiful story for children to enjoy and learn from . It was a fantastic page turning, edge of your seat tale.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This is a great middle grade read, and I can see it being a good read aloud book for younger audiences (Pre-K through first grade), too. It is filled with adventure and explores themes of magic, science, friendship, family, and grief. The illustrations help young readers to visualize the story.
Lessons include learning to listen to people and to learn about them before making snap judgments, how to work together to solve problems, working to do what is right and fair, and figuring out when to prioritize another's needs.

Unicorn Island: Secret Beneath the Sand is such a well-written story for I would say 8-year-olds and above. The illustrations are nice and the story is every young child's dream come true. Filled with adventure and friendship a great book recommendation. Unicorn Island is picturesque and great for expanding vocabulary.

This review is based off of a NetGalley ARC
The e-arc that I downloaded got corrupted, so I missed a large chunk of the story, but WOW, was I intrigued. I'm so into this story & am planning on buying this one & the first book as soon as I have a job & can buy books again. The plot moves forward quickly, the characters & creatures are fascinating. I definitely want to know more!! I hope the series continues. It reminded me of Robin LaFevers Nathaniel Fludd: Beastologist series & Adam Gidwitz's Unicorn Rescue Society series.
I will update my review once I read the published edition!
~
I was able to re-download the e-ARC (I have to use a desktop app instead of a phone app because Who Even Knows Why BUT I finally figure it all out) (ALSO I used some Yulimas money to buy the first one, so that's part of why this updated review was delayed, ALSO #becauseADHD, lol) (ANYWAY)
HERE IS MY UPDATED REVIEW:
I really enjoy these books. They are full of fun & high-stakes adventure. I loved the twist revealed at the end. The illustrations are gorgeous and I def got swept up in the story. The flying chipmunk creatures are ADORABLE. I don't want one in real life, because terrifying, but in a book, very cute.
I will def be buying copies of these for my nibblings. They love adventure stories (and unicorns!). 10/10 would recommend.

Diving back into the enchanting world of "Unicorn Island" with the second installment, "Secret Beneath the Sand" by Donna Galanti, was an absolute delight. Having eagerly followed Sam's adventures in the first book, I was thrilled to see where the series would lead, and this continuation exceeded my expectations.
This story seamlessly picks up from where the first book left off, weaving a narrative that not only ties up loose ends but introduces new and exciting elements. The unfolding mysteries about the island add layers of intrigue, keeping the reader hooked from start to finish. Donna Galanti masterfully balances continuity with fresh twists, making it a compelling read for both new and returning fans.
The whimsical and fun illustrations, consistent with the first book, continue to bring the magical world of Unicorn Island to life. Each page is a visual treat, perfectly complementing the imaginative storytelling. The vivid depiction of unicorns and other mythical creatures adds a touch of magic that young readers, especially those with a love for animals and unicorns, will find enchanting.
The writing style remains perfectly attuned to the target audience, making it an ideal story for young readers. The themes of friendship, loyalty, and bravery shine through, resonating with the core values of becoming unicorn protectors.
As I eagerly turned the pages, the plot unfolded with determination, courage, and fierce loyalty between Sam and her new friend, Tuck. The revelation of secrets, Aunt Sylvie's disappearance, and Sam's deeper connection to the island add layers of depth to the story, enriching the overall narrative.
With the promise of more adventures to come, I'm now eagerly anticipating the third and final book in this adorable series. "Unicorn Island: Secret Beneath the Sand" is a magical continuation that solidifies Donna Galanti's storytelling prowess in creating an engaging, imaginative world that captivates readers of all ages.

In volume 2 of the series, twelve year old Samantha Sea Wells is amazed at how much her life has changed since she arrived at Foggy Harbor. Once she discovered that unicorns are real, she feels happier and more at home. After their last adventure on Unicorn Island, she and her new friend, Tuck, are learning to be unicorn protectors. How lucky are they! Sam is happy to have the time with Uncle Mitch learning all she needs to know to keep the unicorns safe. It's even better spending time on the island and learning about unicorns with a friend. But when the unicorns' horns start shrinking, real danger erases the comfort and joy Sam has been experiencing. What is causing their horns to shrink? Will the unicorns still have their magic if their horns disappear? Is there anything that can be done to reverse the damage? Sam and Tuck don't have a lot of time to sort it all out. They need answers! You will have to read the second volume in the Unicorn Island series to find out what happens to the unicorns.
Over the years I have read and loved many books by Donna Galanti. I read the first volume in the series about a year ago, so I was excited to catch up with Sam and Tuck and find out how things were going on Unicorn Island. I love the purple cover and the illustrations on the cover. It's really eye-catching and would make anyone want to pick it up and check it out. Like volume 1, there are color illustrations by Bethany Standcliffe throughout the book. The illustrations definitely make the story even more magical, and when I was done reading I went back and looked at all the pictures again. Just beautiful! I liked that Sam is feeling happier and more settled. You can tell by her behavior, and it was nice to see her enjoying herself more. It's great to see a character grow! Tuck is still an awesome friend, and I think his kindness makes him someone we'd all like to have in our corner. I was curious about the mystery and wondered if and how it would be solved. It is always a thrill to piece together clues along with characters. I think other kids would enjoy trying to solve the mystery too. What an experience it would be to see unicorns in person! I would recommend this book to anyone eight and up who loves magic, unicorns, mysteries, and adventure. I have enjoyed both volumes and hope there will be more in the series!

This volume is filled with tension and major discoveries. The format continues with amazing colored illustrations. The font is large and inviting, making it easy to appreciate the story at a good pace ( it doesn't overwhelm reluctant readers). The characters reveal great heart and do what is right by the unicorns (keeping them in secret from the world, but not denying them the advances of science to save them). Sam's friend (Tuck) and his mom are relevant characters and fun. They help to balance Sam in her journey as she discovers the truth about Uncle Mitch. And...the unicorns are being drained of their magic... what kind of Guardian Sam is if she can't save them?
Although this volume closes the problem initiated by the first chapters, it also makes us wonder what Sam will do about the great reveal and the possibility of finally being home. Again, the book has a section with educational information that we are always excited to check out.
Great design of the hardcovers as well. A high-quality printing.

After reading the first book in this series I was excited to see where the series may go and was not disappointed with this continuation. I really enjoyed how this story not only picked up some loose ends/questions from the first book, but introduced new elements as well. The illustrations are whimsical and fun, like they were in the first book and the writing style I think this is a perfect story for young readers, especially those who love animals or unicorns.

Unicorn Island: Secret Beneath the Sand is the continuation of the Unicorn Island books on the kids ebook platform Epic. In this latest instalment, Sam, and her friend Tuck and her Uncle Mitch get the bottom of what has been causing earthquakes and making the unicorns to lose their horns... and how it's all connected to Sam.
I downloaded this to read with my 7yo. This is a delightful, fantastical read, for young-middle grade readers, with bright and whimsical illustrations.
A lovely read
~Many thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~
