Get ready to discover the real story behind unicorns in the first in a brilliant new series from Sibéal Pounder, bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series

Unicorns are NOT horse creatures with horns.

In fact, they are the most powerful magical beings on the planet and they look just like you and me. They live in a secret realm known as the Universe, and the horse with a horn thing was just something a unicorn called Greg made up to distract the humans – and it really worked!

But a young human girl called Neon Gallup is about to find the last remaining Universe portal opener (an old, battered green lipstick) and step into a zany world where magic is made with goo and the possibilities are endless!

Unfortunately, if there was one person you wouldn’t want keeping the greatest magical secret of all time, it would be Neon Gallup ...

Critics Review

The inside of Sibéal Pounder’s head must be a spectacular place! Full of colour and glitter and goo – and a bonkersly brilliant imagination!
Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets and When the War Came Home
I adored not-at-all normal Neon and her madcap adventure
Joanna Nadin, author of The Worst Class in the World series
Neon’s Secret Universe is exactly what the world needs right now; a glorious, galloping, life-affirming stampede of pure multi-coloured joy […] Each and every page is a riot of stupendous silliness and breath-taking imagination. I want to go on holiday inside Sibeal Pounder’s head
Chris Smith, author of Kid Normal, The Great Dream Robbery and Frankie Best Hates Quests
Sibéal Pounder’s books are the most fought over in our house. They’ve brought so much joy and laughter and Neon’s Secret UNIverse is no exception. Fun, funny, magical and fizzing with imagination, my children and I have been pinching it off each other since it landed!
Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs
Bright, bubbly and never knowingly normal, Neon’s Secret Universe is a whirlwind of witty wonderful adventure!
Mo O'Hara, author of My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish and Agent Moose
Neon’s Secret Universe fizzes and pops with joyful hilarity. I laughed so much as I read it – and it made me want to become (the real kind of) unicorn!
