Bad Unicorn by Platte F. Clark
4.0
This is the first book of the "Bad Unicorn" trilogy, a series that will bring both kids and adults to tears, laughing.
The story is about Max, a somewhat awkward, nerdy middle school student who finds an old book which makes him accidentally travel into the future. There, humans are extinct and machines have taken over the world - all thanks to a unicorn from a different realm with a questionable kind of food preferance.
Will Max and his friends be able to get back to their own time and mabe even save humanity?
The storyline appeals to middle schoolers as well as to adults, is definitely unique and a little bit over the top. What made me enjoy this book so much though, aren't the plot or the characters, who, to be honest, I wasn't quite so fond of, but the writing style. It's just so dry, sarcastic and funny that I couldn't help laughing out loud quite a few times.
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy unusual and fun stories.
