Neon’s Secret Universe

When exploring her new home, Neon Gallup finds a battered, old lipstick case. She doesn’t think much of it until it accidentally opens the last remaining portal between the human world and the UniVerse: a sparkly, multicoloured magical realm where the Unicorns live.

But not the horse-with-a-horn type unicorns. No, they don’t actually exist. Real Unicorns do have powerful magic but they look just like you and me. The pretty fantasy version was invented by a Unicorn named Greg to distract the humans when they got too interested in trying to find a way into the UniVerse.

Which is where Neon finds herself. And unless she can learn to command goo (the source of Unicorn magic) before her 10th birthday, in three days’ time, that’s exactly where she’ll stay. Forever.

If you would like to explore a world where colour and sparkle are turned up to maximum volume, where the shops are filled with rainbow goo, where a giant ghost rat called Alaric haunts the supermarket and minuscule brain-eating monsters are a threat, this is the book for you.

Zany, funny and irrepressibly bright, this is the first in a new series of surreal Unicorn adventures.
