Author’s Bio
Hi:
I am the author of many different types of books. Some are technical and others are fanciful. Illustrated books are my favorite. I believe that you can capture a reader’s attention with a good story but amazing artwork will reel them in and keep them riveted.
My latest effort is “The Blue Unicorn’s Journey To Osm Illustrated Book For Teens and Older Readers”.
It is on this Goodreads Listopia.
A vote from you would be fantastic.
I’ve also written a companion book for little children called “Unicorns From Unimaise – The Magical Metal-Horn Tribe.”
I also believe if you teach a child with a story and pictures, they will remember it forever. With that in mind, I wrote the “Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit and The Fox” series of instructional books for boys and girls.
You can also vote for it on the best book for children to learn how to tie, here.
I am also the publisher of the 4 volume set – Sybrina’s Phrase Thesaurus. Check out all of these books and if you like them, please recommend them to other Good Reads members.

My Review
5 stars
In the land of MarBryn, unicorns with metal horns have magical abilities. But they are not safe as an evil wizard wants to take control of all of their horns. A prophecy says that a unicorn will be born that can defeat the evil wizard Magh. That unicorn is Blue, a baby born with a leather horn and no magical abilities. Of course several unicorns are disappointed but when Blue learns of the prophecy he decides to train to save the other unicorns.
Blue has the help of a stag, fairies, and many others to sharpen his skills. He may not have magic but with the help of his friends he has a better advantage. Blue has to go on an adventure to stop Magh. Thankfully his friends are there to help him on the journey and the battle to come.
This is a wonderful story that will appeal to all ages. Blue feels alone except for Ghel and his friends. But he is not going to let being different stop him from fulfilling the prophecy. I love how although he doesn’t have magic he used his head to puzzle through each event. I loved all the morals you learn along with Blue.
This is a creative and involving story. I was transported to this world and had a hard time putting this book down. This is a beautiful story that will appeal to everyone from young to old.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
I would like to thank eBooks for Review for the opportunity to read and share this book.
