Song of the Wanderer Rating: 5


Author: Bruce Coville

The Queen of the Unicorns has a dying wish to say goodbye to the Wanderer. She sends Cara on a mission: she must return to Earth and bring her grandmother, Ivy Morris (a.k.a the Wanderer) back to Luster, the land of unicorns. But returning to Earth is not an easy task, especially now that only a few gates between the worlds remain.


Quirky Creatures and Evil Ancestors

Cara and a loyal team of humans and unicorns travel with her through the perilous wilderness of Luster. She meets many people along the way, including M’Gama, a Geomancer; the Queen’s Players; a little man named Grimwald; Medafil, a griffin; and Ebillan, a greedy dragon. The journey is filled with dangerous and deadly battles. But the most dangerous threat of all is Beloved, Cara’s evil ancestor who wants nothing more than to rid the world of unicorns.


Lost in Luster

Cara must travel to the gate buried deep inside a dragon’s den. And somehow she must return to Earth, retrieve her grandmother and bring her back as fast as she can. If she’s takes too long, the gates will shift, and she will wind up being lost in an unknown part of Luster.


The Bottom Line

Song of the Unicorns is book two in The Unicorn Chronicles by Bruce Coville. The story is magical, heartwarming and invigorating all rolled into one! You’ll love Cara’s bravery, and the unique and quirky personalities of all the unicorns. Best of all, the series continues with The Unicorn Chronicles #3: Dark Whispers.
