Punycorn and the Princess of Thieves - by Andi Watson (Hardcover)

About the Book

"High-stakes action blends with laugh-out-loud humor in a story with themes of self-acceptance, betrayal and forgiveness, and the power of friendship. Punycorn--the world's clumsiest unicorn--is officially an apprentice hero, complete with the laminated membership card to prove it! Together with a dragon who can't breathe fire and a dung beetle with delusions of grandeur, Punycorn is on a mission to save a friend. Along the way, the trio battle a vain and decidedly dimwitted warlord and their own self-doubts, and they find an unexpected ally in a legendary female robber who secretly feeds the poor."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis
