The Unicorn Shore: Eclipse's Secret (A Junior Novel)
Book Two in a Magical Junior Novel Series for Young Readers aged 6-9. (Can be read as part of the series or as a standalone)
Eclipse has vanished—and he took a dangerous secret with him.
When nine-year-old Marigold returns to the magical Unicorn Shore, she discovers that her friend Eclipse, Guardian of the Pegasus Clan, has mysteriously vanished. All that remains is a strange letter and an enchanted map covered in glowing symbols. With her unicorn friends Coral, Spark, Nibbles, and little Rose, Marigold sets off on a daring quest through the Lost Mountains to find him.
The map leads them to a forgotten land at the edge of the known realm, where they encounter strange creatures and discover the truth about Eclipse's past. But what they learn puts them all in terrible danger—an unknown enemy using Shadow Magic will stop at nothing to keep this secret hidden.
As the rescue mission grows more dangerous, Marigold and her friends realize that unicorn magic alone isn't enough. To have any hope of saving Eclipse, they must find the courage to trust each other and work together, even when the path ahead feels impossible.
Can they find Eclipse before it's too late? And will he have the strength to face his past and embrace his true destiny?
Perfect for fans of fairy tales, friendship, and magical adventures. This is a heartwarming story of courage, belonging, sisterhood, and the power of believing in the magic within us.

About L. E. Dudley
L. E. Dudley (Laurie), a North Carolina native, is a children's writer and the author of the heartwarming junior novel series, The Unicorn Shore. She is the proud wife of a career Army man, and together they have lived all over the world with their three children.
Laurie believes books, especially fiction, have great power in helping children process challenging situations. She has witnessed it not only in the lives of her own children, who experienced the loss of friendships and a lack of stability because of frequent moves, but also in the classroom during her time as a Kindergarten teacher.
She is passionate about raising children with a love for reading, as well as the important role books have in strengthening the loving bond between child and caregiver. No matter what is happening in a child's world, reading together creates stability and a sense of connection.
Bringing her own fantastical worlds to life to share with children everywhere has been a lifelong dream.
Laurie lives wherever the Army has currently sent her family, along with their little doodle dog, Lily, and their smooshy-face black cat, Pepper. She has a degree in journalism and a master's degree in trauma counseling, and is a member of The Authors Guild and The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
She participates in the Authors Guild 'Human Authored' Licensing program, and you can find all of her books registered on their website.
