In Unicorn Land II, young Maria is lucky enough to have had an adventure in Uniland, a land full of unicorns. Since her last adventure, she is concerned that the crystal ball she has from Uniland has stopped glowing. If it is not working, does that mean something is wrong in Uniland? Maria follows a hunch, amazed but pleased to find herself back in Uniland. And so her next unicorn adventure begins.
It seems that the unicorns are in trouble and Maria is going to help them. As she travels further into Uniland, she is met again by her close friend Twinkle. She soon is able to gather the unicorns together and ask questions. This helps her to piece together what has happened in their land since she was last there. And so Maria puts together a plan with Twinkle and Corn, two unicorns and a newfound friend Daisy the pegasus.
This story is an enjoyable read, bound to capture the attention of young readers who like adventure. One thing I found unusual whilst reading this story was that the unicorns and even a pegasus were referred to as it and didn’t have a gender, although they had names. But the dragon was referred to as ‘he’. I am not sure if this was intentional or not. Also, the cover image left me questioning if it was a unicorn on the front or the young dragon. Although it isn’t typical of a unicorn’s description, the story doesn’t actually provide much detail on what these incredible creatures look like or how Maria sees them.
Still, this story is likely to engage young readers that like adventure and unicorns.
