BLURB: The second Phoebe and Her Unicorn graphic novel!
Summer is here, and Phoebe and Marigold are headed to drama camp. Phoebe's expecting some quality time with her best friend, but in a surprise twist, Marigold has invited her sister, Florence Unfortunate Nostrils! While the unicorn sisters head to camp in a magical rainbow pod, Phoebe is stuck riding with her parents in their boring car, wondering where it all went wrong. But at Camp Thespis, there are more daunting tasks at hand: writing, producing, and acting in an entirely original play! 

My rating: 3.5 scripted stars

Phoebe decide ir a un campamento de verano de drama en vez de uno musical como en otros años. Su mejor amiga Marigold Heavenly Nostrils seguro que estará tan ansiosa como ella de pasarla bien y ayudar a escribir una obra que presentar, pero... para su sorpresa Marigold parece estar más interesada en pasar en vez de eso, tiempo con su hermana Florence Unfortunate Nostrils que ha venido de visita. 

A Phoebe parece serle dificil el compartir tiempo de su amiga con su hermana, o de su otra amiga del campamento , Sue, con su amigo respectivo.

Another delivery of the adventures of Phoebe and her best friend Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, where the delivery goes back to the system of comic strips instead of one storyline like the previus issue.

The summer, frienship, fangirling, internet, school, and Unicorns!

The grace of these vignettes apart from the drawings -really cute- , are good part of the dialogues. The author dedicates a good part of the stories to the impact of technology nowadays like the internet , something that goes from parents to children. I love that Phoebe's parents are addicted to electronic games and inclined towards art in the case of mom.

Follow the lovable duo as they experience somewhat-spooky Halloween parties, ecstatic snow days, and looming summer reading assignments.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Edition Language English

My rating: 3 stars

I wanted to read something fluffy after my last book, so I grab this. A children book. Cute drawings, btw.

Juana lives in Bogota, Colombia, goes to school, has a dog (Lucas), and talks about her dailies activities , plus likes and dislikes as every child. 

I'm not really sure, but the story seems directed to bilingual children, there are spanish words in some points (kind of spanglish), and that confused me a bit. Then the ejem big conflict in the book is because she didn't understand why she has to learn The English.

Unicorn vs. Goblins: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure 

by 

Dana Simpson

My rating: 3, 5 sparkling stars.





This book is listed for children between 9-12 y.o.


I didn't read the previous books, so I was a little lost at the beginning thinking the Unicorn! was some kind of imaginary friend. But it happens to be her best friend/companion. I'm sure you are wondering: a Unicorn! Well, like the NoticeMeNot (HP) and the Mist (Percy Jackson) , they have...tatatán... the 'Shield of Boringness'

Those scary things like starting a new friendship, summer camp, a new school term, adults believing or not in her, and even help your 'frenemy'-- tour the pages... and little lessons.
