own.
The only
fantasy animal besides dragons I would love to find are unicorns. I remember as
a child when my sisters and I would play pretend outside and make up stories,
we would have dragons and unicorns. Kandi Wyatt has taken us from dragons into
the world of unicorns. In actuality, the unicorn entered the human world. Ana
and Daisy become very close to the unicorn. They understand that the unicorn
wants to go home. They need to find a way to help it, while making sure that
those who would like the unicorn for unsavory reasons are kept at bay. Add into
all of this Ana’s parents being hospitalized and you have a set of teens who
definitely are in over their head. The feeling of being overwhelmed will ring
true with middle school age children. Before anyone says anything about how
this would be a great read for girls let me set the record straight. When we do
narrative writing in my classroom it is often the boys who write unicorns into
their stories. I think both boys and girls will enjoy this story. Since my
students already enjoy Kandi’s dragon series
I am sure they will love her new Myth Coast Adventure Series.
