Dive back into the UNIverse with Neon for another unicorn-tastic adventure from Sibal Pounder, the bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series. Neon Gallup is a unicorn. No, not a horse thing with a horn. That's just something REAL unicorns made up to distract the humans. Until now, Neon thought she was the only person from our world who knew unicorns existed, but when she discovers her mum has been hiding a secret from her the whole time, she's got to get to the bottom of it with a little help from her friends Moya and Geldie, some outrageous fashion choices and a whole lot of goo magic.
Sibal Pounders books are the most fought over in our house. Theyve brought so much joy and laughter * Sophie Anderson, author of THE HOUSE WITH CHICKEN LEGS *
Neons Secret Universe is exactly what the world needs right now: a glorious, galloping, life-affirming stampede of pure, multicoloured joy. I want to go on holiday inside Sibal Pounders head * Chris Smith, author of KID NORMAL *
