Unicorn Dancer

I was first attracted to this book's cover as an 11-year old in a used book store. It portrays a lady in a flower field startled by a black unicorn. I read it and became emotionally attached to the characters, and it became my favorite novel. I have re-read it several times over the years, and eventually was fortunate enough to find the sequel, "Daughter of Destiny", in another used bookstore (though this book can be stand-alone). I even used "The Unicorn Dancer" for my college admission essay, wherein they asked you to write about a hero or heroine of yours, and I chose Alorie. She and the other characters are realistic yet fantastic enough to be entertaining, memorable, and inspiring. I highly recommend this book, especially to younger people interested in Fantasy/Sci-Fi. It is still one of my favs after all these years, despite all the other novels of the same genre I've read. Bring it back in print!

the unicorn dancer is a prose type fantasy. its abotu a girl named alorie seeking revenge for the deaths of her father and grandfather. the only way to do that is to find a unicorn, but the question is where? there are many memorable characters in her story including rowan, brock, vella and pich, not to mention marshall her dog!

As a beginning novel for a young person (especially a girl) with an interest in fantasy/si-fi, this is a quaint little ditty.
