Twitter

The second sparkling adventure in the magical-unicorn series, perfect for fans of Isadora Moon.

There is only one thing better than a birthday party: a birthday party in Unicornia! Here the cakes are enchanted, the sweets change flavour and the theme parks are covered in glitter. But Pippa’s birthday has started on the wrong foot and her friends must think quickly to turn disaster into great fun! Luckily for them, they live in the most magical place EVER!

Unicornia: A Magical Birthday is the second book in the children’s chapter book series, Unicornia. The series is about a young girl named Claudia who moves to Unicornia, a magical place filled with unicorns, glitter and magic, as her parents open a shop there.

Claudia attends The School of Advanced Magic and it is here that she meets her best friends Pippa and Sara. It is Pippa’s birthday and the trio are coming up with big ideas on how to celebrate, including a huge party with lots of glitter. However, when the day arrives Pippa doesn’t want to have fun as her parents can’t make it to her party as their flight home (they’ve been off finding lost unicorns) is cancelled.

Claudia and Sara, however come up with a great plan to give Pippa the day she deserves.

Just like the first book in the series, Unicornia: Learning to Fly, this second book is like a big, warm hug that holds youngsters to the pages and gives them an amazing, entertaining read.

For anyone who adores stories about unicorns or magical lands this book will be perfect. The pages are illustrated in different hues of green, just like the first book used different hues of pink. The drawings are perfect and quite Anime styled.

With its short chapters and wonderfully created characters Unicornia: A Magical Birthday is a beautiful book that shows what true friendship is all about and it will touch the hearts of readers.
