The Shadowed Unicorn

I think that this book is great because it is kind of a mystery about a mythical creature. It is about three kids who move because their father died.When one of the kids lets their dog loose, she runs into the forest. When they chase after her, they find a hoofprint and the older sister is certain it is a unicorn print. She is determined to capture it and the other two kids think she is crazy. Loralee W. age 9

In The Shadowed Unicorn, twelve-year-old Brendan, his irrepressible "older" twin, Nick, and their sister Ami, all struggle to cope with the sudden death of their father and the family's recent move from New York City to an old farmhouse in Pennsylvania. When Ami begins to fantasize about finding a unicorn, then discovers mysterious hoofprints in the woods, she tacks the beast to a farm owned by "the Ogre", a recluse the locals believe is responsible for the death of a child. Despite this danger, Ami insists her brothers follow her up the mountain on an adventure that puts them all in serious danger. A highly recommended and entertaining novel for school and community library collections, The Shadowed Unicorn establishes Sheila Welch as a gifted storyteller.
