NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR!

“Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson's Calvin, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz's Charlie Brown...Simpson is that good, and that original.” —Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

It all started when 9-year-old Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, as a result Phoebe was granted one wish, which she used to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her best friend.

In this first collection of Dana Simpson's beloved comic strip series, the bond between precocious Phoebe and self-absorbed but kind Marigold grows into a true friendship. Along the way, Phoebe deals with the usual burdens of childhood (cruel classmates, gym class, piano lessons) and some unusual ones (magic hair, candy-breathing dragons, and the legendary Shield of Boringness).

Vividly drawn and witty, this charming series is perfect for young readers ages 8-10 and sure to mesmerize even reluctant readers.

• Friendship-focused stories filled with unicorns, dragons, enchanted mishaps, and imaginative fun
• Perfect for readers ages 8–10 who enjoy graphic novels and magical adventures
• Full-color artwork and non-stop laughs that appeal to independent and reluctant readers alike

Meet the unicorn best friend readers have fallen in love with and start the adventure from the very beginning.

À propos de l'auteur: Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from The Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.

From 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip Ozy and Millie. After winning the Amazon-sponsored Comic Strip Superstar Contest in 2009, Andrews McMeel Syndication signed her to a development deal for Heavenly Nostrils, which was later renamed Phoebe and Her Unicorn.

She currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her tech genius spouse and her fairly stupid cat.
