From the Publisher

03/01/2017
Gr 2–4—In the first two titles of this series, unicorn enthusiast Cressida Jenkins magically travels to the Rainbow Realm to help seven unicorn princess sisters restore order to their kingdom. Both stories begin with Ernest the wizard-lizard of Rainbow Realm miscasting spells, which creates problems for the humanoid cacti, flame-bites, dunes, rocks, and foxes of the Glitter Canyon and Thunder Peaks. Cressida helps them sort out their conflicts and resolve them simply with kind words and helpful actions. Detailed, visually descriptive language stands in contrast to the basic plots of these two tales. Appealing black-and-white mixed media interior illustrations complement the text. VERDICT This new series may be enjoyed by a niche audience of young unicorn enthusiasts. However, most readers will find it lacking in depth and dimension.—Lindsay Persohn, University of South Florida, Tampa
