Unicorn Riders Series
Unicorn Riders is a fabulous fantasy adventure series for girls aged 8 and over. There are eight books in the series. The stories are designed to empower young female readers.
Avamay is a magical yet dangerous kingdom. The Unicorn Riders protect the people with courage and skill. They ride as one.
There are four Riders and each is assigned to care for a unicorn that is as unique as they are. The Riders are: Willow (Head Rider), Quinn, Krystal and Ellabeth. The unicorns are: Obecky, Ula, Estrella and Fayza. The Unicorn Riders' motto is: WE RIDE AS ONE!
The books are beautifully illustrated by Jill Brailsford and are published by Walker Books.
