If you like stories that are exciting and full of heart, you HAVE to read this. Totally brilliant!
WOW!! Skandar and the Phantom Rider was sooooo good. It had mystery, danger, and some really spooky bits that made me want to read more.
Skandar is getting stronger and braver, but I love that he’s still kind and cares so much about his friends. Bobby, Flo, and Mitchell were all awesome too – their friendship is the best. I really liked how they worked together to figure out who the Phantom Rider was (no spoilers, but I was shocked!!).
This book had everything – action, feelings, magic, and funny bits too.... Read Full Review
I’d recommend it to all my friends
Near the beginning of the book Skandar gets a saddle from Flo’s Dad. He meets the first rider which confused me a little bit, but it all makes sense when you read the story. The storyline is great, the book is amazing, and I loved it. I’d recommend it to all my friends.... Read Full Review
Skandar and the Phantom Rider is a great book that people who love adventure, thrill, mystery, magic and a bucketful of edge- of -your -seat excitement will enjoy.
Skandar is now officially a unicorn rider at the eyrie. His life is blissfully wonderful, until… one day Skandar and his friends find a wild unicorn dead in a river. And now Wild Unicorns are ending up dead all over the island and no-one knows how (wild unicorns are meant to be immortal). After each death, conditions on the island get worse. Storms appear out of nowhere and terrible earthquakes shake the islands ground. No one knows what to do. The Island is in chaos. It’s up to Skandar and his friends to stop the wild unicorn killings and save the island from complete disaster. But can they make it in time?
