Emily Arrow can do plenty of things well when she has Uni – her toy unicorn – to bring her good luck. She’s one of the fastest runners around, she’s great at math, and she hardly ever gets into trouble. But when Dawn Bosco appears, everything changes. The new girl seems to be good at everything. She even beats Emily in a race. Worst of all, Emily discovers that Dawn has stolen her unicorn!
Will anyone believe Emily if she reveals Dawn’s terrible secret? In her efforts to understand why Dawn stole from her, Emily learns a few things about honesty and growing up. Maybe Dawn needs a friend, and maybe Emily doesn’t really need Uni after all. Addressing serious issues with a winningly light touch, this story sparkles with lively wit.
