Customer Reviews

One of the best!

This is one of the best fantasy series for young readers that I've read! Having read a number of unicorn-and-girl fantasy series for young readers to my daughter (age 7), I was set for another insipid and unsatisfying journey. Not so with this series. I found the series to be well-written, exciting (but not over-the-top scary), and rich, and with a fantastic, satisfying, surprise ending. We (this includes both my daughters--my other being almost 15!) all loved this series. I'm looking forward to reading it aloud again -- soon! If you've found certain other Unicorn series to be melodramatic and something of a let-down, then by all means give the UNICORN'S SECRET a go. This series is everything that others are not.

Good end to a good series

This is a satisfactory ending to the Unicorn's Secret Series. Duey brings all of the introduced characters together and explains some of the mysteries that plagued the entire series. It has a trace of happily ever after and will be wonderful for all young and old readers who love a good fantasy. Although it brought everything together and is a great read I was still left wanting more, but I suppose that is the same with any great read.

Excellent series!

These books are really great stories for children who have big imaginations. They are well-written and exciting without being inappropriate for audiences of 5-9 years. There really is a "secret" revealed in this last book. It is a must-read for anyone who has read the others in the series!

Read series in order!

great series, but not easy to figure out which one is first, 2nd etc... if you do not read them in order your child will be lost!

You have to read this one.

This is the final book in this series. It has a surprise ending. My daughter is 10 years old and we both loved this series. We wish there would be more in the series.
