Above from Bruce Coville's Unicorn Chronicles website. I'm sure he won't mind my borrowing it...
I can still remember curling up in my senile grandfather's one sided, falling to bits armchair to read a-erm-borrowed without my incredibly wonderful older sister's okay new copy of Into the
Land of the Unicorns to this day I think she knew I had it those two days but just let me enjoy it. Oh how in love I fell with the Dimblethum the adorable manbear. And Lightfoot the rebelious young unicorn. Then the Squijum, the little monkey squirrel thing. As well as Thomas the Tinker (I mend what I can) and the Keeper of the Chronicles whose name I can't spell, the grumpy little dwarf. And Lady Firethroat who gave Cara the gift of the Dragons. The gift of tongues.
By end of seventh grade I knew Ebilon, the smallest and nastiest of Lusters dragons. Medafil, the gryffin. And my oh so loved Moonheart serious old dude unicorn. And Jacques the sad clown guy from the traveling circus thing in Luster, and perhaps Cara's grandfather? And I'd been witness to the death of a unicorn queen. I'd watched Ivy Morris regain her true form and take her place as Queen of the Unicorns.
Last year I got to meet the centaurs and the really cool Rocky, the exiled Delver. And I watched my well loved Finder die. The first death in the last war of Hunters and Unicorns. I watched as Beloved and others planned to destroy all unicorns. And I learned of the Whisperer.
The Last Hunt is the last book. These books have been part of my life since I was a small child... 5th grade was almost half my life ago. What ever will I do without another Unicorn Chronicle book in the offing? I've spent ten years reading, waiting to read or picking apart these books.
Today is kind of happy kind of sad.
Less than a year til it comes out. He's alreay 3/4 of the way done. (according to the website)
WHAT WILL I READ WHEN THEY'RE ALL FINISHED????
any suggestions?
