One of the best things about books in a series is that when you come to the end of one terrific book, you can reach for another (and also a glass of cold lemonade and a few chocolate chip cookies)!

Macey (age 6) recommends this terrific series:

Title: UNICORN’S SECRET  series:  Book #1 is Moonsilver

Author:Kathleen Duey

Illustrator: Omar Rayyan

Who might enjoy this book? Girls and boys, ages 5+

Why did you enjoy this book?  It has a lot of adventure and excitement. It starts out sort of sad.  Then a little girl named Heart discovers a white mare.  Then the adventure begins.  There are 8 books in the series, and they are all excellent.

Scared of bats?  You won’t be after reading this batty book that Macey recommends because bats are amazing (and they eat a zillion mosquitoes):

Title:  ZIPPING, ZAPPING, ZOOMING BATS
