I realise that the character being unicorns is what makes this book different, however the actual storyline was nothing different from the many thousands of other ‘school’ setting novels. I also noticed that many times the characters were referred to as being people instead of unicorns, which should have at least been spotted during the editing process.

Willow and her friends and classmates must put a school play on.

[Mythical Mishmash · Rating 4 out of 5]

This feels like Willow’s villain origin story. The fact that she ends up playing as the villain for the play adds on to this theory 😆

I would have loved it as a kid but i’m not really in the target demographic anymore. I only read it because i would have felt guilty just donating it and never getting around to reading the series. Simple and sweet story about friends. Has a good moral.
