I really enjoyed this book! I think I enjoyed it more the further into it I got because I began to realize the scope of the book. Also, because it’s a series, I wasn’t sure how much of the book would be self-contained vs. continuous.
I adored the way the “fantasy world” and how Coville described the various landscapes. Ditto for the creatures of the fantasy world! From both known fantastical creatures (like unicorns) to some new (at least, I’ve never heard of them before), delightful creatures!...more

Oh. My. God.

Sorry for the fan-girl squealing you hear in the background. That's just me trying to explain, in actual words, how much I love this book and why. I'll try my best . . . here goes:

First of all, this story reminded me of Narnia, The Never-Ending Story, the movie Labyrinth (the main character, Cara, brings to mind Labyrinth's "Sara," and not just because the name rhymes), and for some reason, The World of David the Gnome (television cartoon). Did I mention the book pairs perfectly with...more

Bruce Coville is one of the best fantasy writers out there. Because he tends to write toward the younger market, many adults aren't familiar with him, which is a shame.

I first read this many years ago, when I was reading children's books at a tremendous rate. It's possible that this was one of the first Coville books I read. I immediately became enchanted by the book and by Coville's work, which I have sought out on a regular basis.

These include sinister large eyed nightmares called Delvers, large gorilla/men called Dimblethum and then a monkey-like creature called a Squijim. This latter animal is a bit annoying. He strikes me as the 'amusing ' character that the modern Walt Disney films have a tendency to insert into the action or children's cartoons are festooned with. They are unnecesary and serve no real purpose other than to be 'cutesy poo' (thanks MM)and simply get in the way of the story telling.

That having been said, the main thrust of the story is of Cara, a human girl, who is sent into the land to warn the Unicorns that they are in great danger from the return of the Beloved and her hunters. These are the sworn enemies of the Unicorns as a result of historical interactions. Coville introduces the character of the 'baddie', Beloved, and explains how she came to be so hateful and loathing of the Unicorns. It is a clever and itself logical progression through fear to hate showing how received positions, unsupported by evidence, can still become accepted and entrenched. Cara, possessing one of the five amulets of the Queen of the Unicorns, is given the role of returning this amulet to the Monarch which can act as a gateway into Luster and therefore is a dangerous tool for her enemies. This journey accounts for the story.

The descriptions of the places she visits and the creatures with whom she visits are imaginative and original. The incorporation of myth and legend are weaved beautifully into the story to the extent that i am not totally certain where ancient myth and Coville imagination begin and end. The Dragon, perfectly named as Lady Firethroat, protects herself by the enchantment of her heart kept safe in a golden casket, Three drops of her hot blood dropped in a jewelled chalice shares her gift of 'the gift of tongues, of knowledge of the languages of all creatures', the unicorn's horn heals physical ills and wounds and involves the unicorn giving of him/herself in the act. He/She can heal physical wounds but not spiritual ones. These, Coville is saying, are deeper and involve more than just patching or tending, they need to be uncovered, faced and understood.

There is a wisdom in these stories because they speak of heroism and sacrifice, alliance and friendship, fear and predjudice. Once again i could see how an interested teacher or even parent could use these stories in reflection or discussion about what we are called to be ourselves.

He describes simply but emotively

'She was small and slender, as luminous as a rainbow, as fragile as a promise. You could see through her, as if you were seeing tomorrow'

'His huge paw rested against her cheek, it lay as delicately as a butterfly'

'That piece of horn was now lodged in her heart, which was doomed to be forever wounded, forever healing, both in the same instant'.

Lovely first volume of an enthralling series. Had i known about this when my first nephews and nieces were children I would definitely have given them this story. As it is the younger ones and my great nephews may well get them in a few years.(less)

I got book 1 & 2 of the Unicorn Chronicles years ago but never sat down to read them. So I finally picked up the first one and had a go at it. And I must say, I like the story so far.

There is nothing particularly amazing or inoventive about the story, but it's a nice, simple tale. On the technical end, Coville's writing isn't anything special and veers a bit more on the amatuer-ish side. I get the sense that he often tries a bit too hard in his writing.

Into the land of the unicorns (fantasy) by Bruce Coville is about a girl named Cara that lives with her grandmother in a small town until a strange man comes to find them. Cara's grandmother; Ivy Morris knows he is up to no good. That man chases both of them into St. Christopher's church while her and Ivy run to a staircase in the back. While Cara is running, her grandmother tells her to take the amulet that has been held around her neck as long as Cara can remember. Ivy tells her to count to the twelfth chime of the huge bell and when she hears it she has to clutch the amulet, jump off of the top of the church and whisper "Luster, bring me home!"
When Cara awakes she finds herself to be in a warm place unlike the snow covered town she was just in, in a world unlike ours filled with never ending forests, huge waterfalls that hold the purest water ever made and UN-human like creatures. As she tries to assimilate to her new surroundings she can't help but think of what has become of her old grandmother that she left behind? where was she? and most importantly, could she ever get back home? I predict Cara will be able to find the"old one" her grandmother mentioned, to help her in this world filled with unicorns. I observe Cara being a very trusting girl who makes friends with "things" easily and will fight for what is right( her stolen amulet, taken away by the delvers). This book made me realize that while you may be far away from home it does not mean you cannot accustom yourself to your new situation. If I were Cara, I would follow my grandmother's instructions to find a way back to her without causing any trouble and make sure that strange man did not cross over. After Cara awakes on Luster, she finds herself in a dark and mysterious cave. Although she is very tired and unable to get up she feels someone's or something's presence in the cave with her. Soon enough a young, white beautiful unicorn named Lightfoot comes by her side and though she is frightened, she trusts unicorns ever since she first encountered one when she was little. Lightfoot tries to explain to her that the only way they can communicate is if she touches his shoulder so they can use telepathy. As Cara falls in and out of dreams, she finds herself wondering where Lightfoot went. Just as she starts to ponder this, a strange half man and half bear creature comes into the cave offering her some tea. Cara is hesitant to accept it but soon she does and she likes it very much. Though she cannot communicate with this creature she comes to know as the Dimblethum and she likes his company. When Lightfoot returns, she tells him everything about her journey and he tells her that he is a healer, all unicorns are, the unicorn she saw when she was little healed her and Lightfoot does the same. Lightfoot takes his horn and very carefully jabs it into her and relieves Cara of her sickness. Afterwards he tells her that he used alot of energy to heal her and he is drained. They must rest for another day before they can leave. When they do finally leave to see the queen, Cara is worried that the man is still after her. Along their route Cara, lightfoot and the Dimblethum meet the squijum, a fast paced squirrel like creature. When the group stumbles upon a waterfall they can see elf like men standing on the other side. These elf's are known as the delvers, tricky little things who are sworn enemies of the unicorns. The delvers warn them to be careful on this perilous journey as many know of there presence. When the group continues onward they learn the Dimblethum has been captured by another group of delvers and when they plan on attacking, they bump into a man named Thomas the tinker who mends broken thinks and has a lightweight, fold able wagon. When they recapture the Dimblethum the group seeks safety at Grimwold's cavern. They climb to the apex of a hill past dragon territory and they see the cavern in sight. When Grimwold appears, he shows them around, and Cara finds a portrait of Ivy and the elf records their story. He takes them all to the scrying pool, a fountain used to communicate with the queen where they get a message saying "surrender the amulet" signed Beloved (the women who made unicorns nearly extinct and whose heart was pierced and gotten a piece of healing horn by a unicorn which means she is almost immortal. They all flee in a long series of tunnels out the back way, knowing that Beloved is after them. The back way leads them into Firethroat the dragon's territory and before long, Firethroat herself appears and picks up Cara, Lightfoot and the Squijum! leaving the Dimblethum and Thomas behind. They are lifted high up into the air up and after a while descend into her huge cave. Firethroat explains why she kidnapped them, because the same man that chased her in the beginning had stolen the mighty dragon's (actual) heart. Soon enough that man appears and when he does, Cara utters the words "Hello Daddy". Yes that man who chased her and Ivy in the church and her all throughout Luster is nonetheless her father! And he wants the amulet, but since he is a Hunter, part of the family that made unicorns go extinct means that he could continue doing the same and that is too hard for Cara to hear, as she loves the unicorn so much and her father was never there for her. So she makes a decision, after knowing that her grandmother is safe and she does not have anything to lose, she tosses the amulet over the cliff and while her father (Ian Hunter) decides to go after it, she takes back the casket containing Firethroat's heart and possibly releasing the unicorns from a world filled with danger!(less)

This is a simple and in places, dark fantasy for young girls about a girl whose grandmother tells her to whisper a saying into a special amulet and jump off a building when they are being stalked/chased by a scary man. I'm not a parent, but I can see how that would be a little red flag for parents (Grandma even asks, "Do you think I'm crazy?" before urging her to take the leap of faith, which ultimately lands her in the land of unicorns).

Knowing that staying put is not smart when someone is after you, she heads for the water she can hear. Attacked by a strange creature who tries to steal her amulet Cara is determined to hang on to her one connection with her grandmother. Waking up without her amulet in a strange cave with weird hairy creature is very disorienting, but Dimblethum only wishes to save her. He has sent for Lightfoot, a rebellious young unicorn, to heal Cara's wounds. While Cara recuperates Dimblethum hunts down her amulet, which turns out to be one of only five magical amulets desired for their ability to transport the bearer instantly to Luster. A dangerous object in the wrong hands. With a Delver army and a human hunter on their tail they head for the Queen of the Unicorns, but can they stay ahead of their enemies and keep the amulet out of enemy hands?

Not one to stay clear from children's books if the story appeals to me, I felt drawn to Bruce Coville's Unicorn Chronicles from the start. The words unicorn chronicles say it all, as far as I am concerned! Online reviews expressed mixed opinions, but since I enjoy the occasional simple yet charming fantasy tale this did not deter me. Having read Into the Land of the Unicorns I am glad I decided to ignore the less favorable reviews as I am utterly delighted by this well-written and enchanting story. Coville's vivid descriptions effortlessly transport me to the ancient forest in Luster and I could easily imagine the glorious scenery that awaits me there. His human and non-human characters are all very loveable. I personally consider the Squijim the funniest character, but there isn't a character I didn't like. Coville even makes you feel sympathy for his bad guys, who, though clearly deranged, really do believe in their ludicrous claims. I find it quite amusing to have a bad guy, or rather woman, called Beloved! Book one in The Unicorn Chronicles has a simple, straightforward plot that is very pleasing. It's no Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, but its simplicity has its own charm. I really enjoyed the story and am already looking forward to reading Song of the Wanderer, the second book in the series. (less)
