Dare to Dream

This book is one of my favorites.When I read it I'm lost in another world full of adventure and fantasy. I would love to see this book turned into a movie! It has a little bit of everything for anyone who still has the sprit of a child in them. This book was not written for children or adults, but for all of us who believe.

Do you believe in magic?

NOT just another unicorn story, this fine first novel casts a rich golden glow that lingers with the reader. As much Americana as fantasy novel, "Unicorn Highway" makes such phrases as "heartwarming" and "uplifting" seem fresh and new again. Fans of both "Field of Dreams" and Ray Bradbury"s "Dandelion Wine" will find much to love and savor here - but this tribute to the power of the imagination is in no way derivative of those works, weaving its own down-to-earth magic in deceptively simple prose as clean and beautiful as Shaker furniture. What a wonderful movie it would make! I hope we won't have to wait long for more from this promising author.

A classic for all ages

This is one of my absolute favorite books. It takes a while to get started, but once it gets going, it's amazing! My copy is falling apart because seven different people have read it. It's one of those books that is so realistic it's difficult to return to reality after reading a few chapters. I read it when I was a child, but didn't understand it until later. My best friend and I created a make-believe world based on Unicorn Highway. We were so positive that one day Infinity would come gallopping through the woods in her back yard and take us both for the ride of a lifetime. There was a shack near my house that to us, looked exactly like Mr. Tucker's house in the book, and we felt like part of our childhood was taken away when the city demolished that shack last winter. Unicorn Highway is a remarkable book! Get your hands on a copy as soon as possible! You don't know what you're missing if you haven't read it!

A very good book!!!

This book is one of the best books I've ever read! I was surprised to find that this was the author's first book. Very well written. The title probobly scares most people away, thinking it's just another kiddie unicorn book, but it's not. I highly suggest it.
