This story was about Sophia starting Unicorn academy and she was given her own unicorn. The unicorns magic started going funny when Sparkle lake turned a strange colour and they put frogs in the lake to fix it. I liked the pranks that boys played on the girls which made them realise the frogs could clean the water. I would recommend this book.

I thought this book was amazing because Sophia reunited with her father after all these years they've been separated.I liked Ava the best because she didn't give up on helping sophia bring back her father.what interests me is the fact that there was a magic unicorn academy above the human world.I would recommend this book to people who like magical unicorns and think that they are real.
