A Glory Of Unicorns

Do you believe in fantasy and magical creatures? Then you'll love A Glory of Unicorns. As you read A Glory of Unicorns by Bruce Coville, you'll learn that you have to follow what you want to do and not what someone else wants you to do. This book is about kids believing and losing something or someone dear to their heart. One story takes place in Luster, the unicorn world. A mare, Cloudmane, decides she wants too become the Guardian of Memory and asks for help from Grimwold, the keeper of the story that started the choosing of the Guardian. A Glory of Unicorns also has a poem called "Dream Child". A story for learning a lesson is "Tearing Down the Unicorns"; it takes place mostly in the woods where Stacey meets a unicorn that teaches her a lesson. There are many other stories like the ones I have mentioned. Bruce Coville has written other books such as The Unicorn Chronicles series, Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher, The Skull of Truth, The Monster's Ring, Sarah's Unicorn, The Dragonslayers, and many more. He seems to have people believe in fantasy than in real life the more you read his books. Although A Glory of Unicorns does have some reality in it, the reality just makes the stories more believable. In this book Bruce Coville can make you visualize without using too many descriptive words. Some might get confused when the book doesn't give enough descriptions or doesn't say who's talking. But most of the time you don't really need too many descriptions to visualize. The book can definitely confuse younger kids because of the problems the main characters encounter. The book is very good for older children who love to dream. It's hard not to believe and fantasize about unicorns and magic after you read A Glory of Unicorns.

This book was wonderful! When I read the introduction, I had tears in my eyes and it made me want to race outside and find a unicorn waiting for me. The unicorns starring in these stories are not all pretty and pink, but some are ugly, and some are horselike. If you read The Unicorn Chronicles, there is a story in this book called The Guardian of memory and it is part of the unicorn chronicles and is absolutely wonderful! The story Tearing Down the Unicorns was also very good. A girl started tearing down the pictures of her peaceful colorful unicorns off her wall for some reason that you will have to find out! I highly reccomend this book to anyone who loves unicorns and that when you finish reading it, if you believe with all your heart, then you will find "a glory of unicorns waiting to sweep you away!"

Before I read this book, I liked unicorns. Now, I LOVE them. This book is so awesome! I decided I'm going to memorize that poem and present it somewhere. I can't decide what story is my favorite. I loved all of them (except for Story Hour, that was weird.) I would highly reccomend this. Some of the stories are sad, especially "Beyond the Fringe". But very very good!

Combine Bruce Coville, master of myth and fantasy, exquisite art, eleven magnificent stories, and a glorious poem, and what do you get? --An exceptional book, a treasure for those who love unicorns and fantasy. These unicorns are not the goody-goody, pink-bowed unicorns of some publications. These unicorns show depth of spirit, some are ugly, some fiery, some brave and gutsy. One of my favorites is the story by Kathryn Lay. This unicorn brings healing to a girl in a wheelchair, but not in the way you'd expect. I won't give away the ending. You'll have to the read the story for yourself. I highly recommend this amazing, wonderful book to all. You'll be uplifted and inspired.

I love stories about unicorns and this one was filled with great ones. I buy anything with Bruce Coville's name on it, but I found a lot of other authors I like now. The pictures are really cool too, especially the cover.
