Skandar and the Unicorn thief is the perfect middle grade read. Adventurous, magical, mystical fantasy land.
Full of unicorns and magic it’s got a recipe for success.
But, the over done chosen one storyline may leave readers feeling like this is just another knock off of, Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.
The characters are likable though the MC is confused with his much more likable sister.
This book could use a few doses more humor and as I can see a series on the horizon I hope that is found along the way.
Overall I think younger middle grade readers will enjoy this book and it is mostly worth the time to read it.
