Description
Dive back into the UNIverse with Neon for another goo-tastic adventure from Sibéal Pounder, the bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series.
Now a fully-fledged unicorn (no, not the horse kind, the ultra-powerful human-looking kind), Neon Gallup is LOVING her secret double life in the extraordinary UNIverse, creating goo-powered magic and going on adventures with her unicorn friends.
Little does she know that she has been spotted opening a portal by none other than the neighbourhood unicorn hunter, Priscilla. Now that she’s seen Neon's portal opener, Priscilla is determined to steal it and destroy unicorns once and for all.
With the unicorn hunters closing in on all sides, will Neon discover the sinister plot in time to save the day once again?

About the Author
Sibéal Pounder is the author of two much-loved and seriously stylish children’s fiction series, Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked for the Financial Times where she researched the How To Spend It section and wrote the For Goodness’ Sake column. Her first book, Witch Wars, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Award and she was also a World Book Day author for 2019. Her latest book, Tinsel, is a funny feminist play on the tropes of Christmas and was extremely well-received by booksellers and readers alike.
Sarah Warburton – a super-talented, super-illustrator superhero – works in a studio at the bottom of her garden. She lives in Bristol in a homely hideaway.
