About This Book
"Unicorn Boy 1" introduces Brian Reyes, a quiet boy whose life takes an extraordinary turn when he develops a magical unicorn horn. This graphic novel, a modern reboot of Osamu Tezuka's classic "Unico," explores themes of self-acceptance, bravery, and the power of friendship. When his best friend, Avery, is kidnapped by mysterious shadowy creatures, Brian must overcome his shyness and embrace his unique identity to become the hero she needs. It's a whimsical adventure perfect for early to late elementary readers, blending humor with a heartfelt journey of self-discovery.
"The first few years of Brian Reyes' life were unremarkable--nothing weird about this kid, no sir. Then, one day, a bump appeared on his head, and it grew... and grew... and grew until it was a full-blown, sparkling, singing unicorn horn. That's absolutely the last thing a shy kid like Brian wants, but destiny waits for no unicorn boy. Luckily, Brian has his reassuring pal Avery to keep him grounded as weird occurrences start stacking up, like Brian's breakfast muffin talking to him, or a bizarre black cat offering him a business card. But when shadowy creatures from another realm kidnap Avery, Brian has to embrace his fate to rescue his best friend"--
