My 8 year old daughter loves these phoebe and her unicorn books. So of course when I saw this available on netgalley I had to grab it. She loved it. I'm pretty sure everyone would love to experience a virtual unicorn experience after reading this! I mean who doesn't love sparkles?
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for my gifted copy. ❤

It's a fun, laugh-worthy middle-grade graphic novel. Would say it's definitely worth the read if you're into this kind of graphic novel, the humor is simply Uni-que! Sorry, I just had to make a pun. :D

Best friends Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils are back in their twelfth adventure. Together, they celebrate the winter holidays, try out for musicals and talent shows, go on field trips (not to actual fields, to Marigold's displeasure), experience magic together, and... go to trial? There is never a dull day with Phoebe and her Unicorn.

My favorite thing about this series is that, even though Phoebe never ages, there's always something fun and fresh in each book.
Here, Marigold tries out for Unicorn Theater, and gets rejected. We witness her experience failure and insecurity, and rely on her Human BFF for support.
She also gets to serve jury duty, on a Unicorn trial against Phoebe for being Not a Unicorn. (apparently, this happens a lot).
I love Phoebe, I adore Marigold. I even love Dakota. This is such a fun series, with a wonderful message of the importance of friendship, sarcasm, and sparkles.

“Virtual Unicorn Experience” by Dana Simpson is another Phoebe and Her Unicorn collection of comics.
This time around, Phoebe learns that by complimenting her unicorn friend, Marigold Heavenly Nostril, she can actually make her float off the ground, proving that a floating unicorn is better than a normal one. Phoebe is also tried in unicorn court for being a human. Phoebe learns to live without a cell phone for a while, and has a virtual unicorn experience as promised in the title.
This collection is consistently good. I’ve enjoyed reading them all. The art and humor are consistent, and I love the addition of a glossary at the end for readers to learn new words and improve their vocabulary.

VIRTUAL UNICORN EXPERIENCE is the story of Phoebe and her unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. The first thing I noticed about this book is that Marigold is very conceited. Perhaps that's a unicorn thing. I'm not sure it's something I'd want my daughter reading.
Beyond that, this story was good. A bit boring and all over the place but good. I was halfway through the book before there was any mention of a "virtual unicorn experience" so I'm a little confused at the rating.
I liked the illustration style and the fact that everyone around Phoebe seems to know Marigold exists. That was different.
***I received a complimentary eARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions within are entirely my own.

Classic Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. I too enjoyed the unicorn court/trial as human because the unicorns were able to wear fancy wigs :)
Never not charming!
