Skandar and the Unicorn Thief is a winner for parents trying to pry their kids away from Roblox. It takes the familiar 'chosen one goes to magic school' blueprint and gives it a fresh, slightly darker coat of paint.
It’s not trying to be high literature, and it doesn't need to be. It’s an engaging, well-paced adventure that treats its young audience with respect by not shying away from a little bit of grit and real stakes. If you've got a kid who likes creatures, battles, and secret identities, this is a safe bet for the bookshelf.
