THE UNICORN CHRONICLES
Into the Land of the Unicorns
As each chime sounds, Cara climbs faster up the steep bell tower. Eleven! She must be on the roof when the next bell tolls. Twelve! With a deep breath, and only half believing she will survive, Cara jumps off the church roof and into Luster, land of the unicorns.
In Luster, Cara meets many wonderful creatures, but the most magnificent of all is Lightfoot, a rebellious young unicorn. Cara's band of friends comes to include a hairy creature named the Dimblethum and the monekey-like Squijim. Together, they set out to reach the Unicorn Queen before the mysterious man who is following them does - to prevent the destruction of all unicorns forever.
"Coville weaves traditional unicorn myths into his accessible fantasy...[with] an ending that hints at the next adventure." Booklist

4.5 stars "Grandma, is that man following us?" Cara, raised by her grandmother, always knew things were a little off... Her grandma was always insisted that unicorns were real - and Cara used to believe too - until kids from school tease her.But then...they get followed by a mysterious man and her grandmother forces Cara to take the "special" - an amulet that her grandmother always claimed contained great magic.Reluctantly, Cara climbs to the top of the bell tower and much to her stride escapesWhat a great book! From the beginning to the end. I wish I could go back in time and read this when I was younger. *Sigh* Very much looking forward to the rest of these books!
Allow me to reminisce on the topic of Skydancers for a moment. On a beautiful spring day, anywhere from 10 to 15 years ago, my sister and I were playing outside on the terrace. We were delighted because we had recently been given a Sky Dancer each as a present (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETCLxx...). After playing with them inside, where they could only fly so high before crashing into the ceiling or a wall, we took them outside. My sister and I couldn't get them to work quite right but we
This book was my whole childhood and it's still wonderful all these years later. Excited to finish the series at last.
Ths is a really lovely story, creating the imaginary world of Luster peopled or should that be beinged by recognizably imaginary creatures such as Unicorns, Dragons, Dwarves and then assorted creations from the imagination of Bruce Coville. These include sinister large eyed nightmares called Delvers, large gorilla/men called Dimblethum and then a monkey-like creature called a Squijim. This latter animal is a bit annoying. He strikes me as the 'amusing ' character that the modern Walt Disney
This book will always hold a very special place in my heart. This is the book that ignited my love of reading. This was my first experience with how books can transport you to another world. I will always love it. And I read it again recently and it is just as wonderful as it always was. The series starts out pretty young, but it definitely gets older and darker as it goes. You should read it.
I really enjoyed this book! I think I enjoyed it more the further into it I got because I began to realize the scope of the book.

Ditto for the creatures of the fantasy world! From both known fantastical creatures (like unicorns) to some new (at least, Ive never heard of them before), delightful creatures! I
