Once Upon a Unicorn

By Lou Anders
Once Upon a Unicorn by Lou Anders digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A science-minded unicorn and a (literal) fiery horse team up in this fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Fablehaven and the Wizards of Once series.

Have you ever heard of a unicorn who is more interested in science experiments than magic?

Or a flaming horse who's a walking fire hazard?

When a pumpkin-headed menace called Jack o' the Hunt and monsters untold threaten their home, this unlikely pair must team up to save all of the Whisperwood--and themselves!

Award-winner Lou Anders delivers a fantasy adventure about friendship, fearlessness, and finding your true herd.

Once Upon a Unicorn Reviews

2.5
“Cute little read aloud that really appealed to my 7 year old, unicorn-obsessed kid. The story takes place in a forest divided in two--the good part where the Unicorns live and the bad part where the Night Mares and all the other wicked fairy creatures live. The story follows a curious unicorn named Curious and a Night Mare named Midnight who find themselves in a tricky situation and wind up with no choice but to work together to get out of it. The moral of the story is that we are more alike than we seem and that good and bad are things better to figure out on your own rather than listen to what others have told you along the way.”

About Lou Anders

Lou Anders drew on his adventures traveling to Greece in his twenties to write Skyborn, combining these experiences with his love of adventure fiction and games (both tabletop and role playing). While he has yet to ride a hippalektryon, creating his own board games for Frostborn, Nightborn, and now Skyborn is one of his favorite indulgences. Anders is the recipient of a Hugo Award for editing and a Chesley Award for art direction, and was named a Thurber House Writer-in-Residence. He has published over 500 articles and stories on science fiction and fantasy television and literature. He resides with his family in Birmingham, Alabama.
