Called an enchanting, compassionate tale by Booklist, this tender and illustrated middle-grade fantasy about a boy and the unicorn that changes his worldview is perfect for fans of Hello, Universe and Katherine Applegate.
For years people have claimed to see a mysterious white deer in the woods around Chinaberry Creek.
One evening, Eric Harper thinks he spots it. But a deer doesn't have a coat that shimmers like a pearl, or an ivory horn curling from its forehead.
When Eric discovers the unicorn is hurt and being taken care of by the vet next door and her daughter, Allegra, his life is transformed. He's thrust into a world of magical creatures just as his world at home starts to crumble.
A tender tale of love, loss, and the connections we make, The Unicorn in the Barn shows us that sometimes ordinary life can take extraordinary turns.
This enchanting story is more than just a boy-meets-unicorn tale--it's a world of hidden wonders and real-life heart.
- An Unlikely Friendship: Eric isn't looking for a friend, especially not the girl who tried to fence him out of his own woods. But keeping a unicorn safe means they'll have to learn to trust each other.
- A Secret Vet Clinic: Discover a hidden veterinary practice that cares for more than just cats and dogs--its patients include a talking Cheshire cat, a golden-egg-laying goose, and a creature made of tears.
- Dealing with Big Feelings: As Eric finds his purpose helping magical animals, he also has to navigate the difficult changes in his own family, including his grandmother's illness.
- Compassion for Animals: A moving story about the powerful connection between a boy and an animal, and the lengths we go to protect those who need our help.
