About this book

This magical beginning of the popular Phoebe and Her Unicorn comic strip series introduces the unlikely friendship between Phoebe, a clever, quirky girl with a big imagination, and Marigold, a glamorous, self-absorbed unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR!“Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson’s Calvin, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz’s Charlie Brown...Simpson is that good, and that original.” —Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last UnicornWhen nine-year-old Phoebe accidentally skips a rock into the face of a unicorn, she doesn't expect to make a lifelong best friend. But that's exactly what happens when she meets Marigold Heavenly Nostrils—a magical, endlessly confident unicorn whose vanity is matched only by her sense of humor. Together they navigate school, friendships, imagination, family life, mythical creatures, and the everyday adventures of growing up. In this first collection of Dana Simpson’s beloved comic strip series, the bond between precocious Phoebe and self-absorbed but kind Marigold grows into a true friendship. Along the way, Phoebe deals with the usual burdens of childhood (cruel classmates, gym class, piano lessons) and some unusual ones (magic hair, candy-breathing dragons, and the legendary Shield of Boringness).Witty and vividly drawn in full color, this charming series is perfect for young readers ages 8-10 and fans of imaginative stories. The first full-color comic collection in the bestselling Phoebe and Her Unicorn series A funny, heartwarming friendship between an imaginative girl and a hilariously self-absorbed unicorn Perfect for ages 8–10, reluctant readers, and fans of graphic novels and comic strips Blends school, family, fantasy, magic, and humor into relatable everyday adventures An excellent choice for readers who love Calvin and Hobbes, Dog Man, and whimsical middle grade comics Meet the unicorn best friend readers have fallen in love with and start the adventure from the very beginning.
