THE UNICORN CHRONICLES

Into the Land of the Unicorns
As each chime sounds, Cara climbs faster up the steep bell tower. Eleven! She must be on the roof when the next bell tolls. Twelve! With a deep breath, and only half believing she will survive, Cara jumps off the church roof and into Luster, land of the unicorns.

In Luster, Cara meets many wonderful creatures, but the most magnificent of all is Lightfoot, a rebellious young unicorn. Cara's band of friends comes to include a hairy creature named the Dimblethum and the monekey-like Squijim. Together, they set out to reach the Unicorn Queen before the mysterious man who is following them does - to prevent the destruction of all unicorns forever.

"Coville weaves traditional unicorn myths into his accessible fantasy...[with] an ending that hints at the next adventure." Booklist

1/4: (view spoiler)[ I really like how Cara's grandmother sacrificed herself t o save Cara and how she didn't play around. I am glad that Cara got out of there and that she was safe. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

2/4: (view spoiler)[ I find it funny how the Dimblethum found her and how he immediately began protecting her. I am glad that they found her instead of someone else. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

3/4: (view spoiler)[ I hate how the Dimblethum is captured and I really like how Cara insists that they stay behind to save him. I like how Thomas finds them and how he and Cara become friends almost immediately. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ I really like how Cara gains the unicorns trust and how she is able to help the queen. I really like how she loves all of her friends and how she is so unwilling to leave any of them behind. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I was a bit surprise the Hunter wasnt right there. Did he leave here or was he ported somewhere else? (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

More on the Hunter (view spoiler)[I nearly broke my heart that he was her father. How sad. Did the grandmother take her? What about the mother? How could she allow all this. Where does she stand? . (hide spoiler)]

The Tinkerer spoiler>I really liked Thomas as a character. And I want his cart!! That thing is awesome!
