For Teen, YA or Older Readers Readers

 Today's Unicorn Book Feature is



At The Victor's Feet

 By Nonno Vecchio

His father lay dying in his arms while his mother hung on the wall of her rooms like a gruesome, bloody tapestry. All around him the castle was in disarray as all too late the king's guards realized the attack had come from within. "Find Tane, son." His father's dying words. "Trust no one!" Then, the blood loss too much, his father closed his eyes, breathed his last and left young Prince Callan alone, confused, and afraid. Tane. Kris Tane. A man out of myth and the mists of time. It was said He had many followers yet no one had heard of or seen Him in over a century. Still, the boy's father would not send him on a fool's errand. Tane. Callan had no idea where to find Him or which way to go. Tane. Finally, after waiting for what seemed like hours, the young prince made his way through the castle, dodging and evading until he reached the secret passage where, with just the clothes on his back and his father's crown in his hands, he made good his escape. He fled the only home he had known in his twelve short years of life. He fled to find a legend.

From Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Mornings on Main and Indigo Lake, comes this heartwarming new novel set in Honey Creek, Texas—a small town where family bonds and legends run deep, and friendship and love are always close at hand . . .

Piper Jane Mackenzie, mayor of Honey Creek, won’t let a major scandal rip her quirky hometown apart or jeopardize her dream of one day running for higher office. So she’s willing to welcome undercover detective Colby McBride, hired to help solve the mystery behind her wannabe fiancé’s disappearance. Colby’s cover? That he is an old boyfriend now begging Piper for a second chance—always when there are plenty of townsfolk around to witness his shenanigans.

Piper hardly knows whether to laugh or cry, especially when she finds herself drawn to the handsome rascal. He's not the only newcomer she has to deal with. There’s a new interim preacher in town, Sam Cassidy. Drifting from one assignment to another since his one love died, Sam isn’t sure he’s the right fit for Honey Creek. But as Piper knows, this is a place chock-full of surprises. And if she can keep her town—and her heart—from going completely off the rails, there may be a sweet, unexpected future in store . . .

Harry loves to race around the streets of Dog Town. When he stumbles upon the lost city of cats, he finds himself in a race against Dog Town’s fastest canine, Grizzly.



The winner of this race will have the power to save Cat World, or destroy it.



Harry wants to win, but there is one small problem. The race is in the ocean, and Harry is terribly afraid of water.



Can Harry overcome his fear of the water and save Cat Town?


Read an Excerpt




HARRY snapped himself out of the trance.



“Run!” he yelled, and every dog did exactly that.



But they took off in a disorderly fashion, like a handful of wound-up toys had been released onto a slippery surface.



Kevin started running first, but he became caught up in chasing his tail. He twirled and twirled, creating a mini tornado.




Teena barked so violently she propelled herself backwards. She only managed to stop when she bumped up against a six-foot-high stack of hubcaps. The metal discs came hurtling toward the dogs at an alarming speed.



Harry saw Teena jump out of the way. Then she reached for Pablo’s collar. She tugged and tugged, but her brother’s feet might as well have been concreted to the ground.



“Pablo!” Harry urged. He cried out again, more urgently this time. “Pablo! Run!”



Pablo stared at the big dogs as though he was hypnotised.




“Pablo!” Teena cried, pulling harder on his collar.



By now, Kevin’s mini tornado had taken on a life of its own. Wispy tendrils clutched madly at anything in reach, but they grasped only air. Seemingly angered by this, the vortex pulled itself into the shape of a bowling ball and made a beeline for Pablo and Teena.

Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale

 Reader Review





Mimi Jazma



The Blue Unicorns Journey to Osm by Sybrina Durant is a fantasy story intended for reader age 12 to 18. The story revolves around a blue unicorn that is destined to save his tribe but he himself has neither metal horn nor magic. The story is mostly about his journey fulfilling his prophecy, saving his tribe from Magh.

The story moves forward very quickly and I like that, the author obviously doesnt waste any time in getting to the point and for Blue to start his journey. The fantasy world that the author created is believable and I like that the author describes MarBryn very thoroughly. The illustration in the book also helps the reader to imagine how the scene portrays and most of the illustrations actually shows what is going to happen in the chapter which I really like. It is kind of a teaser and you cant stop reading once you see the illustrations of the next chapter because you will be wondering what it means.

At some point, the book gets too cramped with too many characters but once you get the hang of it, the characters involvement flows much better.

I would say that this book is very good for the young teenagers as it has a lot of good moral values in it. On the other hand, the book itself is just simply amazing with the fascinating storyline and quick-witted characters.

YA Unicorn Book Feature - Chasing Shadows by Jules Barrie

Sybrina's Unicorn Book Pick

For Teen, YA and Older Readers

 Today's Unicorn Book Feature is



Chasing Shadows

 By Jules Barrie



When was the last time you checked your shadow? 

Mankind had never paid too much attention to their own shadows. Those dark, mysterious obedient things that follow their every footstep and fickle gestures. No one ever questioned them or, more importantly what happened to them when they vanished at the close of each passing day. Little did the human world know or, even suspect that the shadows were once a mighty and proud race. Who for centuries had waged a ruthless and bitter war against mankind, only to suffer a final and fatal defeat. Their lasting punishment, to be tied to the foot of man for all eternity. At least, that was the plan, until by some freak of fortune, some dark and sinister circumstance.

One shadow managed to set himself free from these shackles and escape his captor. In doing so he embarked on liberating other shadows. His aim was to establish an underworld, where they could re-build their lives, re-train their armies and return to power on earth. 

The shadow leader, one 'Solus Spya', resembled all the bad things from the negative of an old black and white photograph, had learnt that the bond between human and shadow was only sufficiently weakened by the humans death. Hence, this evil creature spent most of his time lurking in graveyards and taking joy from humans despair.

The only human defense to the potential onslaught was an innocent young girl who led a fairly ordinary life. Like all teenagers, she was desperate to be accepted by her peers and longed to be the centre of attention by all who knew her. Unwittingly, she and her best friend stumbled across the shadows and what started off as a young girl's prank almost culminated in catastrophe for her and all the people she cared for. In her battle with the shadows she embarks on a journey of self-learning and self-acceptance. She faces her greatest fears and insecurities, in doing so, she is able to confront the might of the shadows and establish her own true identity. During the adventure she learns what true friendship means. Her best friend joins her in the quest as they face real and desperate challenges that push them to their limits, but ultimately they come through it, stronger than before.

In the adventure, she is assisted by mans greatest and oldest ally, the unicorn. A mighty proud beast that devoted its life and very being to protect mankind. He has the power to overcome the shadow's only weakness, which is exposure to bright light. The unicorn can use his great powers, thundering speed and alicorn to generate blinding and lethal light, which is the only way to defeat them. During the adventure the girl and the unicorn become good friends. A friendship that will last their complete lifetimes. In doing so, she resurrects his faith in man and rekindles his passion and love for them.

The heroine also has to call on the help of a fallen angel, whose name is Ark. Ark has some rather serious attitude problems, when she is good she is beauty and loyalty personified. However, she feeds off fear, weakness and above all evil, using it to become a sinister deadly creature that will devour anything in its path. The young girl has to win over Ark or, face oblivion, as such the two face an uneasy partnership. 

The girl's efforts are almost thwarted by her other nemesis, her history teacher 'Mr. Jones'. He is desperate to make his mark in the academic world and suspects that his pupil has stumbled across something incredible, which is of immense importance. He is motivated by greed and vanity, becoming obsessive about uncovering the truth to the world. During the story they try to out wit each other, sometimes with humorous consequences.

Friendship, battles, thunderous noises, blinding lights, defeat and victory are the key foundations to the book. It's a journey that one small person is prepared to take, whilst the rest of the world sleeps in blissful ignorance. 

The end of the book is just the beginning.

For Teen, YA and Older Readers

 Today's Unicorn Book Feature is



Beyond The Krysalis

 By Naya H. Jones


"Wing my spirit with the feathers of a golden bird that I may soar and flee this broken world,” Princess Ravin whispered to night sky. She sat on her bed watching the golden nightingale flying frantically around its gilded cage.

“I’m stuck in a prison just like you except my cage is a crystal palace.” She curled into a ball on her towering bed stacked high with feather mattresses soaring up, up, up to the crystal palace’s ceiling....
Beyond the Khrysalis is an enchanting tale of Princess Ravin’s magical journey into the dark world of Khrysalis Fiber. Is it the wonders of this mysterious new world beckoning to her, or something truly evil calling her to her death? Ravin follows ancient paths, battling dragons, sharing magic with the fairies of Will-O-Myst, uniting with a crystal unicorn, Quazar, and her pegasus mate, Jaguar. Ravin's "fantastical" journey results in an end that truly becomes her magical beginning.

Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale

 Reader Review




By laurathomas61

Having such a love for the wonder of unicorns it was an easy choice to read this book. Magical unicorns with metal horns. All shapes and sizes. And one unicorn, Blue, who has no magic, but is supposed to be the savior for the tribe. Sounds like a grand adventure to me.And it was. Filled with lots of beautiful illustrations portraying many of the fantastical beings that roam these lands, it kept me enthralled. However, it had some dark moments that caught me by surprise. Going in thinking this was for younger readers, some scenes of death and danger now have me thinking this would better fit older teens and young adults.This well written fantasy has plenty of intriguing characters and plenty of action, with some doses of peril that will keep you reading and crossing your fingers for a happy ending. I sure enjoyed it and would love to read more about Blue, his friends, and this magical world.
