(3) 1-3 Unicorn's Secret series. Illustrated by Omar Rayyan. With the fifth and sixth books, the fantasy series finally hits its stride; Heart's quest to rescue her unicorn friends and find her family takes a few interesting turns, and she makes a friend of a former enemy. Accompanied by a few black-and-white sketches, the short chapter books raise questions that will encourage readers to continue with the series. Reading like a novel divided into smaller segments, the books don't stand alone. [Review covers these Unicorn's Secret titles: The Sunset Gates and True Heart.]

(4) 1-3 Unicorn's Secret series. Illustrated by Omar Rayyan. Picking up where the previous book left off, this chapter book will be best appreciated by readers familiar with the series. When her hiding place is discovered by gypsies, Heart, along with her dog and the two unicorns that she is protecting, decides to travel and perform with her new friends. A lot of questions are left unanswered, but the compelling plot and likable heroine will draw readers in. Black-and-white drawings accompany the text.
