Unicorn Seekers: The Map of Lost Unicorns
Publisher: Scholastic
Every morning, Elodie Lightfoot and her dad load up their coffee van with pastries and go to the park, where Elodie roller-skates with her friends before school. All pretty usual.
One night, awoken by a storm, Elodie watches a dark horse canter along her road – and in a flash of lightning she spots a translucent horn on its forehead. Could it be …? Before she can think properly, a red car screeches round the corner, in pursuit of the shadowy creature, and it flees.
When she tells her friends the next day, Caleb says he’s seen a black horse hiding in the park. But it seems that only Elodie the Unicorn Seeker can communicate with Astra the unicorn, and she and her friends must save the beautiful creature from the sinister Bureau de Secrets.
With a cast of excellent friends including an autistic boy, this satisfying tale has the perfect balance of thrilling plot, unicorn lore and swirling magic. The delightful illustrations and the inclusion of diary entries from Unicorn Seekers throughout history mean the reader is wholly drawn into this mysterious and secret world. It is perfect for fans of magical adventures that crackle with mystery.
