I Sure As Hell Would Much Rather Deal With a Unicorn Than an Anthropophagi
November 28, 2011
RL LaFever’s Nathaniel Fludd: Beastologist Series because The Unicorn’s Tale was a fast read featuring my favorite mystical creature EVER: UNICORNS! Also, this could totes appeal to kids because there’s pictures, funny lines, a boy main character, and STRONG female characters.
