A unicorn in bowling shoes is quite a STRIKE-ing sight. But for nine-year-old Phoebe Howell, it’s just another fun outing with her best friend, the illustrious unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

Their unique and magical friendship is at the heart of the ninth Phoebe and Her Unicorn comics collection perfect for readers ages 8-12, which includes such adventures as writing original songs, publishing rival news websites, and making a summer visit to the exclusive Camp Shimmerhorn. However, life with a unicorn BFF is not without its challenges, and whether it’s homework, friction with classmates, or talent show jitters, Unicorn Bowling is relatable and full of amusing, heartwarming reminders that when the going gets tough, the tough get sparkling.

As a bonus, this book contains a glossary to help young readers learn about new words, people, and concepts mentioned in the book.
