Description
When Arica falls through her grandmother's kitchen floor and finds herself in North Bundelag, a land with two moons, singing rivers, and plenty of magic, she knows she's in trouble. Arica hardly has time to figure out what's going on before she's captured by two nasty trolls and attacked by a swarm of "pfifers." Fortunately, a gentle unicorn named Wish comes to her rescue. Arica finds that she can communicate with the unicorns through mindspeak, and learns they are badly treated by the show more trolls. She is determined to free the abused creatures, but the trolls lead her to a miserable work camp. There she meets the evil Raden, who wants to exploit Arica'spowers. Even with the help of kind elves and the magic of the unicorns, Arica seems unable to stop Raden. Will she be able to save the unicorns and return to her own world? Readers will be enchanted by this fantasy as they follow Arica and the unicorns on her brave journey through North Bundelag. They, like Arica, will realize that the strange land is much closer to reality than they ever could have imagined. show lessTags

I do like to offset some of the darker adult fare I read with the occasional children's book but this one was definitely written for little princesses with its fairy magic, nasty trolls, and a prancing baby unicorn. Oh well, I got all 5 books at a used book sale so I guess I can commit myself to the couple of hours it'll take to read them all. Nice illustrations though.
