Has your 8/9yo read any unicorn story books recently?

That they've really enjoyed?

I'm on the hunt for one for dd2's stocking but cba to trail into town to actually look so have been scrolling amazon for the moment.

Tia & sorry to the Christmas in December only folks!

Quick bump :)

I volunteer in a primary school library, and the My Secret Unicorn series by Linda Chapman is very popular.

My 8yo liked Phoebe and Her Unicorn. It's a graphic novel and pretty heavy on snark, so maybe not good if you're looking for a cosy magical adventure! I think the Amazon preview gives a pretty good sense of the content.

Thank you both, much appreciated. I'll look them up on Amazon later on now, dd's been mooching about the kitchen helping me for a while now

@Leeds2 I volunteer reading in dd's class once a week but haven't come across that series yet. I'll have to have a look for it next week!

She's quite a popular author, also writes the Stardust series (which I haven't found to be that popular), and Sophie and the Shadow Woods. I think she is one of the five (?) women who write the Rainbow Fairy books under the Daisy Meadows pseudonym ..............

Ha ha, I finished the above post and went onto the Children's Books part of the forum. Someone has just started a thread asking the merits of My Secret Unicorn versus Unicorn School. Looked up Unicorn School, and they are also written by Linda Chapman!

That's interesting; I have come across the Rainbow Fairy books - dd has some, and some of the girls at school have read odd ones of them.

I think dd would like the My Secret Unicorn books, there's a set on Amazon for £12 so I've put them in my basket. Not quite stocking sized but I'll find something else that is, I'm sure.

I hope she likes them!

Thanks Leeds, I think she will but I will have a look for them in school's library first before I click to order them.
