Description
Dive back into the UNIverse with Neon for another unicorn-tastic adventure from Sibéal Pounder, the bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series.
Neon Gallup is a unicorn. No, not a horse thing with a horn. That's just something REAL unicorns made up to distract the humans.
Until now, Neon thought she was the only person from our world who knew unicorns existed. But when she discovers her mum has been hiding a secret from her the whole time, she's got to get to the bottom of it – with a little help from her friends Moya and Geldie, some outrageous fashion choices, and a whole lot of goo magic.
