Hootworthy or Not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: Skandar and the Unicorn Thief by A. F. Steadman 📖 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is EPIC! Skandar’s world is full of adventure, danger, and magical unicorns (but not the cute kind—you’ll love how wild they are!). The story kept me hooked, and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The descriptions make everything feel so real, from the stormy skies to the powerful unicorns. There aren’t many pictures, but my imagination ran wild! 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book shows that being different isn’t a bad thing—it’s what makes you special! Skandar learns to believe in himself, and I love how bravery and friendship help him along the way. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 5/5 Hoots – A must-read! If you love adventure, mystery, and unicorns (the fierce kind!), you NEED to read this! It’s exciting, surprising, and full of magic.
