Publisher Description
A New York Times bestseller!
Soar into a breathtaking world of heroes and unicorns as you’ve never seen them before in this “unexpected, suspenseful, and heartwarming” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade debut perfect for fans of the Percy Jackson and Eragon series!
Skandar Smith has always yearned to leave the Mainland and escape to the secretive Island, where wild unicorns roam free. He’s spent years studying for his Hatchery exam, the annual test that selects a handful of Mainlander thirteen-year-olds to train to become unicorn riders. But on the day of Skandar’s exam, things go horribly wrong, and his hopes are shattered…until a mysterious figure knocks on his door at midnight, bearing a message: the Island is in peril and Skandar must answer its call.
Skandar is thrust into a world of epic sky battles, dangerous clashes with wild unicorns, and rumors of a shadowy villain amassing a unicorn army. And the closer Skandar grows to his newfound friends and community of riders, the harder it becomes to keep his secrets—especially when he discovers their lives may all be in graver danger than he ever imagined.
Customer Reviews
New Heights
This book is an excellent young readers book that can be enjoyed by everyone. This is an excellent start to a series that could eclipse Harry Potter one day. We are treated to wild rides in this story of a child who learns that life is more than a simple pony ride. Become lost as the narrator does a fantastic job of translating words into a narrative you won’t want to put done.
Great read
I really enjoyed reading this book and every plot twist throughout this book. I really hope the second book is as good as this
