Skandar is an exciting, mysterious adventure about a boy who joins a world of dangerous unicorns. It’s the thrilling start of a brilliant series.

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief changes everything you thought about unicorns. It is wild, thrilling, and full of magic. A unique plot with mystery and brilliant characters. Bring on the next one!
Not many books get me hooked by the prologue, but in Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, I was hooked from the first page! I went into it thinking unicorns were all about rainbows and sparkles, and I wasn’t sure if it would be my kind of story, but I was very wrong! This book completely changes the way we normally think of unicorns. They're wild, powerful and dangerous, nothing like the cute creatures I expected.
The book is full of suspense. Just when you think things have calmed down, something else happens. The plot about bonding with a unicorn and training to be a unicorn rider was brilliant!
The characters are written really well too. I felt like I was right there with Skandar and his friends.... Read Full Review
