Laura is blind, but though she cannot see, she is an acutely perceptive child. As soon as she climbs onto the unicorn’s back she is hurled into a wild and magical world. Though a contemporary child, living in a contemporary setting, Spellhorn and the Wild Ones see Laura as their leader and they know that only through Laura can they reach the safety of the Bright Wilderness.
