Unicorn Famous: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure

by Dana Simpson

Overview

Roll out the red carpet for Phoebe and Her Unicorn, the stars of Dana Simpson's bestselling series of comics about two best friends who make every day magical.

When your best friend is a unicorn, every day is a stroll down the red carpet. Phoebe Howell’s unicorn BFF, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, is happy to provide the celebrity treatment—teaching Phoebe fancy new spells, giving her a ride to school so she doesn’t have to ride the bus, and even negotiating with the tooth fairy on her behalf.

But when Phoebe starts noticing that unicorns have become a trendy fashion statement, she doesn’t feel quite so unique. Fortunately, she’s distracted by adventures including a visit to the unicorn community and a trip to the woods to see her friend Dakota receive an unusual honor at the goblin award ceremony. Unicorn Famous is filled with amusing examples of the extraordinary lengths friends will go to make each other feel special.

She currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her tech genius spouse and her fairly stupid cat.

Editorial Reviews

12/01/2021

Gr 3–6—In the 13th volume of this series about the friendship between a girl named Phoebe and a unicorn called Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, Phoebe notices that unicorns are the next big fad—at least, in the human world. So Marigold decides to make humans just as trendy in the Unicorn Lands, with mixed results. Other story lines in the book involve Phoebe and Marigold playing superheroes, going to classmate Dakota's Blarty Award ceremony, and preparing for a visit from the tooth fairy. Supernatural elements and modern settings blend to form delightfully amusing, colorful comics that focus on character interactions. Phoebe and Marigold are caring friends who often engage in thoughtful, relatable discussions about topics like frenemies, self-consciousness, worries about what others think, and the need for alone time. Marigold's attempts to relate to Phoebe's dilemmas by sharing her own anecdotes and unicorn lore are particularly amusing. Phoebe is brown-skinned, while Dakota is white. VERDICT Hand to fans of the series and young fantasy readers with an interest in unicorns.
