Emily Bliss

Kids are going to love this story and parents are going to love that they provide an enchanting and safe reading experience!

You have magic, unicorns, belief in the unbelievable, beautiful illustrations, royalty and of course friendship.

The way Bliss describes her scenery, such as the palace and canyon, is so imaginative and beautiful you feel like you are walking alongside her seeing this as well.

Bliss has not only written a story that will fulfill many young children’s imagination with show more joy and color but she’s made some fun characters as well. There’s the wizard lizard who doesn’t seem to understand the word “No” and whose spells constantly backfire. As well as fun unicorn princesses all with different powers. Dragons who can cook, flame-bites which are like foxes made of flames and put off blinding light and heat that will make you sweat, sand dunes and cacti which can talk.

Reading about their fresh fruit made me so hungry!

As a parent of children who seem like they could fight all day I appreciated the implied lessons about making amends, working together, and apologizing when you did something wrong. show less

Cressida Jenkins, a unicorn-obsessed girl who is sure that unicorns are real, is invited to visit the Rainbow Realm. In Flash's Dash, the annual Thunder Dash is approaching, and Princess Flash has opened the race to non-unicorns for the first time ever! Cressida is the first human girl invited to participate, but Ernest the wizard-lizard accidentally casts a spell that covers the race track in sticky, pink goo! Join Cressida as she helps the princesses save the race. A fun story for the show more unicorn enthusiast early reader. The reader doesn't need to read book 1 to understand the story as the author writes a summary chapter of book 1 in book 2. show less

Cute adventure of Cressida Jenkins, a young girl who adores unicorns, and travels to the world of unicorn princesses to help find a lost royal gem.

When a clumsy, unskilled wizard-lizard miscasts one of his forbidden spells, he causes one of the unicorn princesses to loose her magical gem. Only a girl who believes that unicorns exist can help find the gem!

Cressida is a smart, thoughtful, honest and considerate girl; a great role model. The reading level seems to me to be 2nd-3rd grade. It show more might be a little light in story for older primary schoolchildren.

I have enjoyed this series and like how they find creative solutions to the issue they are facing. However in this 7th book they just use magic to fix the problem. I would have a like a little more creativity but fans of the series will still like this book.
This magical series is full of sparkle, fun, and friendship.
