YA
When modern-day teenager Tessa pulls a loose thread from an old tapestry, a handsome, imperious young man, Will, appears. He hails from sixteenth-century England, where a witch had trapped him in the tapestry as a unicorn so she could steal his vitality. Charismatic heroine Tessa's story is suspenseful, romantic, and very funny. In true fairy-tale fashion, there's also a happy ending.
