The Search for Stalor is a fast-paced, humorous fantasy adventure perfect for elementary school readers. Fifth-grader Xander's life takes an unexpected turn when three zombie, rainbow-barfing unicorns, expelled from their magical realm, crash-land near his home. These quirky creatures are on a mission to find their missing fourth friend, Stalor, and Xander is unwittingly drawn into their quest. He follows them through a portal to Shushyerbum, a bizarre world inhabited by Mears, who have a rather unsettling taste for human flesh. Xander must not only help his new, unusual friends find Stalor, but also keep himself from becoming dinner. This book blends laugh-out-loud absurdity with genuine peril, making it an engaging read for children aged 7-11, and a fun read-aloud for younger listeners. It explores themes of unlikely friendships, bravery, and loyalty in a highly imaginative package.
Four zombie, rainbow-barfing unicorns were expelled from Pegasia for attempted unicorn cannibalism, but only three of them landed on the mountain where fifth-grader Xander lives with his aunt--but now the unicorns are determined to find their missing friend, Stalor, and when Xander follows them through the portal he finds himself in Shushyerbum, inhabited by Mears with a taste for human flesh, and he not only needs to rescue his friends, but keep from being eaten himself.
