The Unicorn Shore: The Ring of Mischief (A Junior Novel)

Book Three in a Magical Junior Novel Series for Young Readers aged 6-9. (Can be read as part of the series or as a standalone)

One enchanted ring. Endless mischief.

Return to the magical Unicorn Shore in the third adventure of the series, as nine-year-old Marigold fulfills her promise by bringing her little sister, Sophie, to celebrate Eclipse’s coronation. At the castle, everyone gathers to cheer the new king when a powerful tremor cracks open a hidden crystal cavern in the hills nearby. Marigold and the unicorns dash off to investigate, but Sophie is told to stay behind.

Determined to prove she’s more than a tagalong, Sophie teams up with Rose, a daring young Pegasus unicorn who’s tired of being left out. The pair sneak into the cavern and discover a mysterious ring that hums with strange energy. Back at the castle, they hide it, unaware that it holds Trickster Magic.

Tiny Stardust Sprites spring loose from the enchanted ring. They play pranks, cause mischief throughout the castle, and turn the coronation celebrations into chaos.

Can Sophie and Rose capture the sprites, uncover the ring’s secrets, and stop the trickster magic before it escapes the castle and plunges the entire Unicorn Realm into mayhem?

Note to parents: This is a junior novel, and features small black-and-white, pencil-drawn chapter header images only. This is intentional, and is designed to create a gentle visual anchor that complements the story to support advancing readers as they transition from heavily illustrated early chapter books to text-only novels.

Junior novels offer mostly text-based stories that challenge young readers with richer vocabulary and longer narratives, helping to develop their reading skills and focus. At the same time, they support older, reluctant readers by offering a longer story with a more accessible Lexile range. If your young reader still relies heavily on illustrations for context and pacing, this would be an excellent book to read aloud together.
