Sunchaser's Quest (Unicorns Of Balinor #2)
by
Mary Stanton (Goodreads Author)
Princess Arianna has returned to Balinor--a peaceful, magical world watched over by a herd of beautiful unicorns. But a dark presence has invaded the land. And Arianna has no memory of her past or how to tend to her wounded unicorn, Sunchaser.
The unicorn's horn was broken in battle, and he is very weak. The journey to get Sunchaser's horn restored will be long and very dan...more

Twenty one pages into reading this, and my brain’s already been broken. What did it? This did:
When unicorns laugh (or, as Ari discovered later, sneeze, cough, hum, sing, or cry), they laugh through their horns.
Wut. Seriously, what? They sneeze through their horns? Their horns are an amalgamation of respiratory organs, a larynx, and motherfucking tear ducts? I just… what?
But ignoring the utter derpiness that creeps up every now and then… not a bad fantasy installment. Great for children who haven...more

Children who like unicorns, fantasy and strong female heroines
I was obsessed with these books in elementary school. They're great for children, especially young girls, who like adventure and fantasy. Unfortunately, they're really short, just over 100 pages.
For book swappers: Note that this is the second book in the series. I don't have the first. The cover is ever so slightly worn. There is a hot chocolate stain on the edges of the last 20 pages, but it doesn't extend onto the page beyond a millimeter and there is no warping from the moisture.

This one was really good, up until that last words that were said. I mean, we all hate that little brat who was dragged along with Ari, but come on, her sudden change in character was so obnoxious, I guess, that I didn't want to continue on to read the rest! That was three years ago. Maybe four. Anyway I had lost all interest completely, and I think I still have. Maybe when I have absolutely nothing else to read, I'll continue the story.
Loved it as kid, and it'd be great to reread it if I could. Sunchaser is every child's dream - a strong, shiny unicorn with awesome powers. Chase and Arianna makes a great pair, and we're given more of a glimpse into the world of Balinor than the first book.
What we see makes us want to know even more, and I couldn't wait to lay my hands on the third installment so that I could find out how the adventure continues.

Second book in the Unicorns of Balinor series. I would have loved these books when I was 7. As it is, I think book 2 is better than the first one. If I happen to come across any more of these I'll probably zip through them.
Sunchaser has lost his horn but got it back and thought there was no more quests.there was one more it was going home.my favorite part was the whole story or book.7yo Auryn
