Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR! The first book in the popular Phoebe and Her Unicorn comic strip series introduces an unlikely friendship between Phoebe, a clever, quirky girl with a big imagination, and Marigold, a glamorous, self-absorbed unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. "Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson's Calvin, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz's Charlie Brown...Simpson is that good, and that original." --Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn It all started when 9-year-old Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, as a result Phoebe was granted one wish, which she used to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her best friend. Come along for the unicorn ride as the bond between precocious Phoebe and self-absorbed but kind Marigold grows into a true friendship. Along the way, Phoebe deals with the usual burdens of childhood (cruel classmates, gym class, piano lessons) and some unusual ones (magic hair, candy-breathing dragons, and the legendary Shield of Boringness). Vividly drawn and witty, this charming series is perfect for young readers ages 8-12 and sure to mesmerize even reluctant readers.

Author:
Simpson, Dana
Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from The Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.
Attempts at doing real work along the way are hardly worth mentioning; the relevant fact is that, from 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip "Ozy and Millie". After winning the Amazon-sponsored Comic Strip Superstar Contest in 2009, Universal Uclick signed her to a development deal for "Heavenly Nostrils", which was later renamed "Phoebe and Her Unicorn".
She currently lives in the Seattle area with her tech genius husband and her fairly stupid cat.
