When we think of the unlikely hero in a quest narrative we probably don't think of a unicorn. But that's what Watson gives us and it works spectacularly well. With a unicorn in training the only one available to defend the city, Punycorn sets out on a quest to collect necessary elements to defeat a villain who is equal parts threatening and silly. While Punycorn's interpretations of the necessary items are perhaps not what was intended, his adventure is kind-hearted and noble. This is fun and exciting and a joy to read.
