Along the way, readers will meet all kinds of new characters, learn what magic spells are best avoided, and have all kinds of sparkling unicorn fun.

Review: 

This is the 15th Phoebe and her Unicorn book and they are going strong for me. I really enjoy them so much. In this installment we adventure with Phoebe and Marigold while they establish a clubhouse and club, prep for a unicorn family reunion where Marigold decides she wants to rebel, a bunch of silly spells, costumes, and good humor. 

This book, like the others, has a great flow as Phoebe and Marigold enjoy the summer months and their friendship. I though it was cute that a few times in this installment Phoebe mentions how normal it is to have a unicorn around and in on instance her parents are more surprised by her completing chores than spells the unicorn uses. There were a lot of laugh-out-loud moments that I enjoyed.

I am still here for this amazing relationship that Phoebe and Marigold share, they are great. The banter and wit of their conversations is so fun and funny and they use some great vocabulary. Even better, there is a glossary to help with any unknown words AND added bonus, it is mentioned in the beginning so that you know it is there for reference. I love that feature. I also really enjoy that you don't need to read these books in order, you can jump around or read them as stand alones pretty easily. The humor is light and appropriate for younger readers and the illustrations fit the vibe perfectly, they are bright, whimsical, and creative. 

Overall, I am a fan of these books and will continue to read them as they are released.
