Review: A little bizarre, but definitely fun reading!

This is definitely a quirky fantasy tale, very different from the tale of elves, ogres and goblins.  Yes, it's a very traditional tale, with dragons, witches, and unicorns, but magic flows very differently here.  Gold dust from unicorn horns have incredible powers, whirlpools can lead to safety instead of a bottomless reservoir, and unicorns have telepathy.There were several [what?] moments in the book, but its spirit is infectious. The reading gallops along, and brings a smile to your face. It's never boring or pretentious.This book may have brought out an interesting moral dilemma: are the unicorns immoral for bringing children to danger and refusing to return them before their herd is saved, despite proof of the risk?  But that's for adults to ponder; children will laugh instead, and savour this book.  I did love this book.  I look forward to more from this author.
