The Order of the Unicorn : Imaginary Veterinary Book 4 by Suzanne Selfors



Review by :Yagyesha Roy

Pearl Petal loved horses in all their forms. Horses, ponies and especially unicorns. Now that she knew they existed of course. Pearl also had a pink pair of leprechaun shoes given to her by Cobblestone the Leprechaun . He had told her that the shoes did something special. Maybe, Cobblestone was a big fat liar or in this case a little fat liar .

Ben Silverstein , Pearls' friend comes over and gets a yellow hat from her house. When they reach the worm hospital, Mr.Tabby is leaving for once a year trip to the spa , and tells them a human has been sighted in the Imaginary World.Once inside, Dr. Woo calls them to the water basement where they meet  a cute but dangerous child eating kelpie (half horse , half sea serpent which can change forms too). After Ben cautiously feeds the kelpie (since kelpies have a preference for boys) , they find that the youngest unicorn in the group has gone missing. 

Pearl, Ben and Dr.Woo then go to the Imaginary World to rescue the young unicorn. Since, they could not enter the Tangled Forest  without the Unicorn King's permission , and that would take some time , Dr.Woo started telling them how she had met Maximus Steele . He and Dr.Woo were friends and apprentices for Dr.Woo's grandmother , Dr.Diamond Woo. But , one day he tried to bring a fairy back through the Portal and he got fired . So, they had to move to The Veterinary hospital again. When she was done telling this, the Unicorn  King arrived and told them that the missing unicorn had gone in the Dark Forest and the only way to reach was to find the Dark Wall.

On their way to the Dark Wall, they met some fireflies. Ben couldn't reach them because fireflies could detect his noise but somehow Pearl was successful in her attempt. Then they discovered that Cobblestone the leprechaun had given Pearl a pair of Silent Slippers (the reason the fireflies were not able to hear her coming) . Only she could save the  unicorn now as the unicorn would only appear in front of girls . That ruled out Ben and Dr.Woo couldn't go because she didn't have a pair of Silent Slippers. 

Since the predators were plants , and they didn't have eyes so Pearl could go in silently . With fireflies to light the way and strands from Ben's yellow hat to mark her steps , pearl bravely stepped in to the Dark Forest. Very soon Pearl saw the silky hair of the Unicorn. But then she saw someone very dangerous ..Maximus Steele !!! He was putting a trap on the ground which was looking very similar to the rain dragon trap(mentioned in Book 3) .He later flew off carried by a giant moth. 

Pearl quickly jammed a branch into the trap and hid behind a tree while the plants tried to eat the metal trap .Suddenly she felt something tickle her palm . She looked down to see the lost Unicorn ! Picking her up, she ran to the exit . The yellow string was gone but she still managed to enter the tangled forest . Only when the Unicorn King thanked Dr. Woo did Pearl realize that she had saved a princess.(the lost unicorn was his daughter).

Pearl and Ben both became members of the Unicorn Blessing. Dr. Woo cut two strands of the Unicorn King's hair and magically attached it to their heads. They also received certificates of merit which stated that they were skilled in the art of Saving a Unicorn Foal. 

I loved this book because like any other girl I love unicorns and imaginary creatures . I liked it better than the previous three books because Pearl being a girl saves the day . Girls Rule !!  be sure to check out my next review , The Griffin's Riddle  which is book 5 in the Imaginary Veterinary Series !

Review by:Yagyesha Roy Creak. Ben Silverstein heard a noise coming from the kitchen window. It was the middle of the night so Ben didn't really see anything but a big paw. But when he looked out the window he sees a figure that looks a lot like the dragon that lives on top of Dr. Woo's hospital. In the morning Ben's grandpa says the toaster was missing. Mrs. Mulberry calls an emergency meeting about all the missing items.  Pearl and Ben discover that the missing items were all metal. Mrs.Mulberry  then decides to take roll call.
