Sibéal Pounder’s new adventure picks up where the exciting Neon’s Secret Universe left off. During the day, Neon Gallup is a regular girl, then at night she slips through the portal in her bedroom wall, using an old green lipstick as a key, and arrives in the UNIverse, where she is a fully fledged unicorn, though not the horsey kind that most of us think of when someone says unicorn.
All seems great, but Neon doesn’t realise that her next-door neighbour Priscilla Knackerman knows her secret and is actually a UH, or Unicorn Hunter. Will Neon be able to keep Priscilla out of the UNIverse and protect her magical friends?
Sibéal Pounder has a string of super-popular series to her name, including Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids, and they all take a quirky, witty approach to subjects you might think had been done so often the possibility of originality is tiny. But she always succeeds in bringing a fresh feel and a touch of sparkle, and that’s definitely the case with this series. Sarah Warburton’s black and white illustrations match Pounder’s text for style and appeal.

Dive back into the UNIverse with Neon for another goo-tastic adventure from Sibeal Pounder, the bestselling author of the Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series.
Now a fully-fledged unicorn (no, not the horse kind, the ultra-powerful human-looking kind), Neon Gallup is LOVING her secret double life in the extraordinary UNIverse, creating goo-powered magic and going on adventures with her unicorn friends.
Little does she know that she has been spotted opening a portal by none other than the neighbourhood unicorn hunter, Priscilla. Now that she's seen Neon's portal opener, Priscilla is determined to steal it and destroy unicorns once and for all.
With the unicorn hunters closing in on all sides, will Neon discover the sinister plot in time to save the day once again?
