Eclipse has vanished—and he took a dangerous secret with him.

When nine-year-old Marigold returns to the magical Unicorn Shore, she discovers that her friend Eclipse, leader of the Pegasus Clan, has mysteriously vanished. All that remains is a strange letter and an enchanted map covered in glowing symbols. With her unicorn friends Coral, Spark, Nibbles, and little Rose, Marigold sets off on a daring quest through the Lost Mountains to find him.

The map leads them to a forgotten land at the edge of the known realm, where they encounter strange creatures and discover the truth about Eclipse’s past. But what they learn puts them all in terrible danger—an unknown enemy using Shadow Magic will stop at nothing to keep this secret hidden. 

As the rescue mission grows more dangerous, Marigold and her friends realize that unicorn magic alone isn’t enough. To have any hope of saving Eclipse, they must find the courage to trust each other and work together even when the path ahead feels impossible.

Can they find Eclipse before it’s too late? And will he have the strength to face his past and embrace his true destiny?

A Note to Parents: The Unicorn Shore is a junior novel series for readers ages 6–9 featuring small black-and-white, pencil-drawn chapter header illustrations only. This is intentionally designed to create a gentle visual anchor that complements the story to support advancing readers as they transition from illustrated early chapter books to text-only novels. 

Junior novels offer an ideal next step up from early chapter books. They are mostly text-based stories that challenge young readers with richer vocabulary and longer narratives, helping to develop their reading skills and attention span. Rooted in themes of courage, friendship, teamwork, sisterhood and Light and Shadow Magic, the content of this series is a strong fit for ages 6 to 9. 

A Series That Grows With Your Reader

The Unicorn Shore is a wholesome, character-focused junior novel series with vivid, cinematic moments built to grow right along with your child. Each book gets a little longer and a little deeper, giving young readers new challenges without ever feeling overwhelming.

Book 1 starts with a gentle, riddle-filled adventure, shorter chapters, and simple, comforting themes. It’s perfect for kids who are just starting to read mostly on their own and are easing away from heavily illustrated books.

Book 2 picks up the pace. The chapters are a bit longer, the emotional stakes run higher, and there’s more action, giving developing readers room to stretch and enjoy richer storytelling.

Book 3 is the biggest adventure of all, featuring strong character development, a more detailed plot, and the most cinematic imagery in the series. It allows young readers to explore slightly more complex twists while still staying completely age-appropriate.

This “grow-with-me” setup lets kids follow the same beloved characters as the books slowly get longer and more involved—something that often keeps them motivated and excited to keep reading.
