Als Wolke und ihre Freunde hören, dass am letzten Tag vor den Ferien ein Theaterstück aufgeführt werden soll, sind sie begeistert. Während Wolke und Saphira sich für eine Rolle auf der Bühne bewerben, wollen Mondstrahl und Sturmwind viel lieber hinter den Kulissen helfen. Was Wolke und Saphira dabei aber nicht ahnen: Sie haben sich beide für die Hauptrolle als Dornröschen beworben und sind nun Konkurrentinnen. Ihre Freundschaft wird auf eine harte Probe gestellt ...

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.
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.
