Unicorn Boy and the Slumber Party of Doom! Reviewed by Ben, Age 9

I started reading this book the same day I got it because it’s a graphic novel so it was quicker to read. It doesn’t matter if you’ve not read Book 1 because the general idea is quite clear. Although you need to read Book 1 to understand why there is a talking muffin and why Unicorn Boy needs to keep going to the toilet!

It is about unicorns so it’s a fantasy story all about magic and the pictures are in colour. I thought the name of the story was quite interesting. People think of unicorns as sweet caring horses but in this book they are more like humans with a range of abilities. There’s a funny bit where Unicorn Boy got toilet paper stuck on his foot and then he is really embarrassed and everybody laughs.

There are some really dramatic pictures on pages 88-91 but don’t go straight there as it will give you spoilers. A character called Uniclops is a Cyclops/unicorn – he is always embarrassed and idiotic.

I wouldn’t want to go to the unicorn castle but if I could make a magic castle in the clouds like the one in the book I would make one where I could play video games all day.

I would recommend this to people who liked the first book. If you haven’t read the first book, read it right now! I think this book is for ages 8 and over because it has tricky words such as ‘obituary’ and ‘conspiracy’.
