      The Sky Unicorn - Paula Harrison

      Chapter One

      The Snow-White Foal

      Ava leaned over the side of the boat and let her fingers trail through the cool water. It was wonderful to sail along with the breeze tickling her cheek and ruffling her long black hair. She loved watching the ducks swim and seeing rabbits scampering along the sandy bank. The river ran all the way through the Emerald Plain, and there was so much wildlife to see.

      Sometimes, if she was really lucky, Ava would catch sight of a magical creature. There were lots of amazing magical animals in the Kingdom of Arramia, such as giant eagles with golden feathers, star wolves that sang, and even sky unicorns!

      The river sparkled in the sunshine. Two planets, one green and one purple, hung in the cloudless sky.

      Leaning out a bit farther, Ava watched the six boats following hers down the river. Each one had a large white sail and a cabin painted in bright red, blue, and green. Ava and her family were part of Mr. Inigo’s Amazing Traveling Troupe. They sailed up and down the kingdom’s lakes and rivers, stopping in every town to put on a show. Right now they were on their way to the town of Blyford on the shores of Misty Lake.

      Ava smiled to herself. She couldn’t wait for the next show. She was going to perform a new dance in the turquoise dress she was wearing. She’d been practicing for weeks!

      Ava, don’t lean out too far, said her mother. You don’t want to fall in with that nice dress on!

      Ava moved back a little and smoothed the folds of the turquoise dress. It was made of a silky material that shimmered in the light. Are we close to Misty Lake yet?

      It’s not far now, her mother replied. I expect we’ll look for a place to camp soon.

      Her dad came out of the cabin and took hold of the main rope to pull in the sail. Then he fetched a small silver trumpet and blew a single note. On the next boat Ava’s three older brothers took down their sail. Then they blew a note on their own silver trumpet. This was how they sent messages down the line of boats. Soon all the sails were in, and the boats slowed down a little.

      There’s Misty Lake—just beyond the bridge. Her dad pointed to a wooden bridge not far downstream. A mass of glittering water lay just beyond it.

      I can see it! Ava made a graceful jump, raising her arms as if they were wings. Then she twirled around. They were moves from her new dance.

      Ava! Her mother laughed. Remember, no dancing on the boat. There isn’t room!

      Sorry, I forgot! Ava stopped herself halfway through the spin.

      The boat sailed around a bend in the river, and a towering hill came into view. Standing at the top was a pale shape that made Ava catch her breath.

      It was a sky unicorn.

      As Ava watched, more unicorns trotted over the brow of the hill, their snowy manes flowing in the breeze. With their beautiful white coats, golden horns, and brightly colored tails, they were the most beautiful animals she’d ever seen.

      Ava felt as if butterflies were dancing inside her. She’d seen sky unicorns before, but never so many together. There must have been at least twenty of them! The tallest one at the front
