About The Book
The magical friendship of Phoebe and her best friend, unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, is back with more sparkle, mischief, and heart in this second adventure of a bright, imaginative girl and her mythical creature!
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR!
“[This is} very much about being true to yourself… [The series] mixes some angst and tough questions with the sparkles and giddiness of life with a unicorn.” – Common Sense Media
One year has passed since Phoebe became friends with the most fabulous unicorn of all, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. In some ways, her life hasn’t changed much – there are still the difficulties of grade school and her frenemy Dakota – except now Phoebe has a best friend, Marigold. And that’s a big change, especially because Marigold is a unicorn!
A funny, warm, and magical comics series perfect for young readers ages 8-10 and anyone who believes life is better with a little sparkle:
Join the dazzling duo as they celebrate the winter holidays, explore their superhero/super villain personas, witness a band of unicorns staging an “intervention,” and learn all the details of Marigold’s secret crush on a mysterious creature. Most importantly, watch as this surprising friendship between a charming nine-year-old dreamer and a vain, mythical beast forever changes them both for the better.

Raves and Reviews
“The book is a perfect mix of ongoing stories…I plainly love this strip, and I love the books.” (Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing)
“…charming…the comparison to Calvin and Hobbes is apt—it has a joke-a-day format with recurring themes and gentle, winning humor that often results in guffaws. Also like Calvin and Hobbes, there is a thin veneer of snarky cynicism that will keep older readers interested in the stories well beyond most children’s magical unicorn-loving phase.” (Booklist)
Unicorn and snark fans rejoice…” (The Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books)
Named one of “14 Notable Chapter Books for Summer Reading” list; “My kids and I adore these characters and love this new book. It’s one we’ll read over and over again.” (Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup)
“This is an excellent addition to a family-friendly home library. Adults and kids alike will love this warm and witty book. Buy it!” (Kala Kumar, Examiner.com)
