Reviews

‘Lindsay Littleson has been bold enough to strip away the sparkle and return the unicorn to its status as a mythical beast.’
— West Coast Review

‘A new and utterly inventive take on the unicorn myth, with not a splinter of sparkle in sight. Entertaining and atmospheric’
— Inverness Courier

‘It’s magical, but also very real and gritty.’
— Bookwitch

‘A fantastic story’
— Armadillo

‘It is a wonderful book to read. It deals with some issues affecting many children in schools, it promotes the need to protect natural wildlife from poachers and it ends with a clear message to ask questions and be open with your friends so they can be there for you. I highly recommend this book.’

‘It’s wonderful. But it’s also relevant… Sensational… It may just make a huge difference to a child’s life.’
— Roachie’s Reviews

‘[The] descriptions feel so authentic that they have the reader convinced that they too, might encounter a unicorn on a stormy Highland night, and it is in bringing realism (and just the right sprinkling of magic) to something so fantastical that the power of this compelling story lies… a timely reminder of how spectacular Scotland’s wild places and creatures are – and how vital it is that we protect and respect what we have today.’

‘A very nice young adult fantasy novel… The characters were well developed and the story made me keep reading until its very satisfying conclusion.’
— NetGalley Reviewer

‘A brilliant mix of mythical creatures (that might just exist) and young people who are having to cope with some very complex issues in their lives. It is highly recommended and is a real ‘keeper’.’

‘There were so many elements I loved about this story: the authenticity of Lewis and Rhona’s friendship; a refreshingly different portrayal of unicorns with a modern twist; the representation of the Scottish Highlands; and, as I am a teacher, the depiction of the joys of a school residential! I will definitely be purchasing this for my class and school library. I would highly recommend it to children of 8+.’
