Review
This is the first book in Amie Borst’s series of ‘Unicorn tales’. I downloaded an e-book copy to read with my daughter and we were both excited to read it!
From the beginning we were captured by the beautiful descriptions of the Kingdom of Wintersend. We finally found out the name of a flying unicorn a ‘Pagacorn’ of course. The main character Callie is very likeable and she has a special gift which she doesn’t understand. We go on an adventure with her and Noelle, a red bird to discover why Callie has this gift. The two characters friendship is lovely and they both look after each other equally.
Callie makes a discovery about herself that will be life changing. She has to be brave and use lots of courage. My daughter and I talked about this after we had finished the story. We spoke about how Callie was afraid of flying and how she overcame her fear.
The adventure is exciting and interesting. We really enjoyed the fantasy elements in this story, and the descriptive storytelling really captured my daughters imagination.
This is a great chapter book for fans of fantasy and unicorn adventures. We will be looking forward to reading the next books in the series.
