More of my reviews to be found at my blog Take Me Away...This middle grade is one for the upper level MG readers. It features a very cool unicorn tale and a thrilling ghost story. Now that doesn't mean that it will be too scary, its still a very cute read. In the story, Twig is sent to an all girls camp on an island run by a Mr. and Mrs. Murley. They help the girls looks after ponies to help them learn responsibility and to stay out of trouble. One day a mysterious horse shows up and with it comes yet another mystery. It ends up being a unicorn and not a horse! Twig is told by a ghostly boy that dangerous things are happening to the unicorn herd and she is the only one that can help them. This new responsibility scares her, but she knows she must do what she can to help them. What I loved most about this book was the emotion in it. Twig was going through a rough time and I was able to feel everything she went through. From the happiness she felt when she first discovered the unicorns, to how scared she was when she first arrived at the island. This book of adventure sets the perfect stage for the next installment in the series. I can't wait to see what will happen next in Twig's world.
