(librarian note: it is unlikely that the paper artist is the same author as the children's "World of Wishes" books, but I can't find any details to back that up)
I read this book probably 13 years ago and nearly killed myself with the effort of desperately googling anything that came to mind for the last three hours for the name to finally pop into my head unbidden. thanks
Interesting enough story but I found that the words where rather big for the age group this book is aimed at. I don't see many children flying through this one with out asking someone for help on the more tricky words.
Madi is having a bad day. She had a bad day at school, people teasing her. We’ve all experienced one of those days.
Despite the bad day, Madi is about to have the best time of her life. She’s going to meet new friends. She is going to travel to a magical land called Zavania. She is even going to help a unicorn find its way home. It all starts with a boat sitting on the river near her garden.
Reves de licorne is a wonderful adventure to a magical land. Perfect for middle grades. I see that there is another book in the series, Reves de sirene, so Madi’s exploits are just beginning.
