One of my favorite series as a kid! I stole them from the library after checking them out continuously for almost a year :) Oddly enough--rereading these 6 books recently--I was still able to enjoy them. They are very short, but for how short they are they still manage to tell a complete and compelling story. The action keeps moving and I really like the main character. She's very much who every girl would like to be, but has real enough flaws that she doesn't venture into the dreaded Mary More...

I started reading "Secret of the Unicorn Queen" when I was around 12-years-old. These are the books that made me fall in love with scifi/Fantasy. Take a normal girl (Shelia), and drop her into a parallel universie with unicorns, a cute boy and an evil tyrant who must be defeated and you've got the makings of a great story. Plus Shelia, has her back-pack full of your basic normal school stuff but that "normal sutff" equates to life-saving magic in the Unicorn Queen's relm.

This book is the best fantasy book I have ever read. It is about a girl(shelia) who falls into a portal that takes her to the magical world of Arren. Now Shelia is on a quest to find a way home. On that quest she gets side-tracked and joins a group of warriors who are trying to save the unicorn race. I read this book so many times. Swept Away is a quick easy read that is funny and has many adventures. I would recomend this book to all fantasy lovers.

By far my favorite series as a young girl/tween. Never could fine the middle books, though. I'm tracking them down now as an adult to add to my collection! Just the right amount of romance and adventure in a fantasy setting for the pre-teen crowd in the late 80's and early 90's! Who wouldn't like to be swept away into a world with unicorns and women warriors, not to mention a cute guy?

This series is really, really old and for a relatively young audience. But it is still fantastic! I love the characters and the cool idea behind it. I love this series!

As teens, my sister and I ate these books up. Very fun fantasy for girls of a certain age. The fact that it involves unicorns doesn't hurt either.

ok, so it's written for preteens, once you get over the simplicity of the sentences, you'll enjoy the story. Written in 1988, a teen falls into alternate universe and joins a rebel band of teens and their quest to rescue the remaining unicorns stolen by the evil Dynasian. Will she be able to get back home? The last four book in the series are out of print, but can be found in some sources online.

I think they're out of print--but these were fun books full of childhood adventure/Unicorns/ and my favorite, romance. I have the first two and read the rest on a website I found that had them in their entirety. It's a fun series--6 books in all. I highly recomend for anyone fascinated with young adult fiction.

This is part of a series that I read when I was a kid. Yes, I am entering in my unicorn box sets that I read when I was young because they are still dear to me. I even read them again sometimes for nostalgic reasons.

This was one of my favorite series as a pre-teen/teen and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, fantasy, female-heroined book to escape with.
