BOOK INFORMATION:
One year has passed since Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond, accidentally hit a unicorn in the face, and was granted a single wish—which she used to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. In some ways, not much has changed. At school Phoebe still clashes with her rival--and sometimes “frenemy”--the ever-taunting and imperious Dakota. Outside of school, she still fills her free time with extra-credit homework assignments, dramatic monologues about the injustices associated with school cliques, and imaginative conspiracy theories regarding global forces like the “powerful construction paper lobby.” But unlike before, Phoebe now has a best friend to share it with—someone to make her laugh and to listen to all her extravagant ideas.
In this second volume of Heavenly Nostrils, titled, Unicorn on a Roll, the reader is invited on a journey into the lives of Phoebe and Marigold as they navigate the difficulties of grade school, celebrate the winter holidays, and explore their super hero/super villain personas together. Join in the fun, as Phoebe competes against Dakota for the leading role of “Lisa Ladybug” in their fourth-grade play—or as she struggles to “manage” the PR debacle related to her nose-picking-scandal. (“I will neither confirm nor deny the events surrounding Boogergate.”) Witness a band of unicorns staging an “intervention” and learn all the details of Marigold’s secret crush on a mysterious creature she has never seen. Perhaps most important, watch as this surprising friendship between a charming, nine-year-old dreamer and a vain, mythical beast forever changes both of them for the better.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
Unicorn on a Roll is just such a cute series for kids. I really enjoyed this book. I have read the first one, but I borrowed it from the library so I couldn't reread the first one. I don't think you need to understand the first one to read this one. The story is hilarious, cute, and quite unique in a good way.
"Hey, Max?"
"Hey, Phoebe."
"I'm unsupervised and I wanna do something I'm not supposed to."
"I'm illegally downloading "Explosion Man 2" before it's out on DVD."
"Can I press enter?"
"You're desperate, aren't you?
The characters are so funny and charming. The dialog is super cute and they are quite little kids.
"Unicorns are more powerful than tater tots!"
The cover is super cute. It is one of my favorite colors, and I love that you can visually see the two main characters on the front cover as that is an essential aspect for kids I believe.
"True Friends finish each other's sneezes"
"I never Heard that Before"
I am so glad my hold came in from the library, and I got to read it! I read it in about 2 hours off and on.
