My thoughts
like always I want to say a huge thank you to the publisher Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers , the author A.F. Steadman, and to NetGalley for letting me read and review. Not the type of unicorns that you would want to meet but still cool enough to like , plus its a great start to a new series , where you get to see the different types of unicorns as well as magic that they and their riders can do, there's adventure and chaos , friendships , secrets , and new found family , and the characters all have a way of getting in to your heart, if I have to choose I would have to say my all time favorite is Skandar's unicorn , because of how he had me laughing at some of the stuff he got into . It a perfect read for anyone who loves middle grade.
Description
Soar into a breathtaking world of heroes and unicorns as you’ve never seen them before in this fantastical middle grade debut perfect for fans of the Percy Jackson and Eragon series!
Skandar Smith has always yearned to leave the Mainland and escape to the secretive Island, where wild unicorns roam free. He’s spent years studying for his Hatchery exam, the annual test that selects a handful of Mainlander thirteen-year-olds to train to become unicorn riders. But on the day of Skandar’s exam, things go horribly wrong, and his hopes are shattered…until a mysterious figure knocks on his door at midnight, bearing a message: the Island is in peril and Skandar must answer its call.
Skandar is thrust into a world of epic sky battles, dangerous clashes with wild unicorns, and rumors of a shadowy villain amassing a unicorn army. And the closer Skandar grows to his newfound friends and community of riders, the harder it becomes to keep his secrets—especially when he discovers their lives may all be in graver danger than he ever imagined.
