When nine-year-old Phoebe accidentally skips a rock into the face of a unicorn, she doesn't expect to make a lifelong best friend. But that's exactly what happens when she meets Marigold Heavenly Nostrils—a magical, endlessly confident unicorn whose vanity is matched only by her sense of humor. Together they navigate school, friendships, imagination, family life, mythical creatures, and the everyday adventures of growing up.
In this first collection of Dana Simpson's beloved comic strip series, the bond between precocious Phoebe and self-absorbed but kind Marigold grows into a true friendship. Along the way, Phoebe deals with the usual burdens of childhood (cruel classmates, gym class, piano lessons) and some unusual ones (magic hair, candy-breathing dragons, and the legendary Shield of Boringness).
Witty and vividly drawn in full color, this charming series is perfect for young readers ages 8-10 and fans of imaginative stories.
Meet the unicorn best friend readers have fallen in love with and start the adventure from the very beginning.
