Unipiggle: Witch Emergency
Meet the princess who loves breaking the rules and her Royal Unicorn, who happens to be a pig!
A madcap new adventure series for 6-8 year olds, perfectly bridging the gap from picture books to chapter books, from award-winning author-illustrator Hannah Shaw, filled with pictures in all the colours of the rainbow and interactive extra material.
When Unipiggle and Princess Pea discover a dusty old MAGIC BOOK, they can't wait to try it out. But then the book goes missing.
Suddenly, there is chaos at the palace! The daisies have grown teeth, and, even worse, the King and Queen have been turned into UNICORNS! Can Unipiggle and Princess Pea stop the spells?
"Fizzing with imagination." Harriet Muncaster, author of Isadora Moon

About the author
Hannah Shaw
88 books15 followersHannah Shaw was born into a large family of sprout munching vegetarians.
As is the oldest child, she spent her formative years trying to be good at everything; from roller-skating to gymnastics. Hannah soon realised there wasn’t much chance of her becoming a gold medal winning gymnast, so she resigned herself to drawing pictures and writing stories!
By some mean feat Hannah found herself at the University of Brighton doing a degree in illustration. Soon an overwhelming obsession to make books took over her life. Inspired by her love of furry animals, Hannah wrote and illustrated her first picture book Evil Weasel, published by Jonathan Cape (Random House) in 2008. Her next book Erroll, about a boy who finds a squirrel in his packet of nuts, is out in 2009.
Hannah currently lives in a little cottage in the Cotswolds, with her husband Ben the blacksmith and her rescue dog Ren. Her over-active imagination fuels new ideas but unfortunately keeps her awake at night!

It is time for spooks and thrills and witches doing spells with a new Unipiggle!
In this wonderful book Pea finds a magical spell book and has tons of fun with it and plenty of plans to try out all sorts of things. I had tons of fun seeing her use magic to grow a pumpkin to big big sizes. XD
But of course something is bound to happen when you find a sparkly library book that shouldn’t be there and while I wasn’t always a fan of the blue-haired witch, I did feel that she didn’t have any bad intentions. In fact, given the rules, I could kind of understand it. Plus, Princess training? This girl is good at making excuses it seems.
I loved how Pea and Unipiggle and a few friends tried to get things right again while dodging snappy plants and big pumpkins. I was rooting for them (and at the same time laughing at what the witch was up to).
I guess maybe it would be better for the queen (and the king) to allow a bit of magic? I mean, it is just a bit harsh to ask people with magic to not use it. And we see in this book what happens due to this rule. I mean, why not make new rules to just regulate magic and thus allow it. Then I am sure things will go a bit better and we won’t have any repeats of what happened in this book.
The art was just too much fun again! I loved seeing the unicorns, there was just so much magic.
All in all, a great read for Halloween, magic and witchcraft. Can’t wait for the next book.

My daughter who is 6 loves reading the Unipiggle series. I think we have read them all together now. They are colourful, fun and have an engaging storyline. This was a good one in the series, I think it is a later one but still as good. 4.5 rounded up.
