Reviews

[Kara Ayers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Riley rates “a pretty good book”

[Mandi with Red Quill Editorial · Rating 5 out of 5]

This second installment in the four-book series (part of a larger series of Unicorn Academy books) is perfect for kids new to chapter books or for reading together at night. With black and white illustrations every couple of pages, relatable characters, and an exciting treasure hunt with unicorns, what's not to love? In this one, Evie and Sunshine struggle with their clumsiness and worry that they are annoying their friends or holding them back from finding the treasure. How will they overcome their self-doubt? (PS: Another collection under the Unicorn Academy series has been turned into a show on Netflix!)
