Synopsis

Where Rielle comes from, nobody even talks about unicorns, let alone fabled forests, mighty First Ones, shapeshifters or lands that don't exist on maps. But when Rielle's parents suddenly disappear, Rielle decides to go and look for them. Nothing has prepared her for the things to come. From wandering alone in unknown places to finding the treasured and faithful Pud, she stumbles almost unknowingly into the land of Wish. And there she unwittingly unlocks a long-lost tale of unicorns that unravels from the mists of time.

Review

"Unicorn Kisses books - Wish - Magical! A lovely story of hope and dreams. A beautiful book." Illawarra Mercury (2009)

"The Unicorn Kisses books are delightfully creative stories of bravery and resilience where dreams are challenged and fulfilled. I was totally engrossed as heroine Rielle, her faithful companion Pud, and the other visitors to Wish, fight against evil and discover unknown strengths within themselves. Each book is a great read and highly recommended." Keri Balding. Author. Editor.

"Spellbinding. The Unicorn Kisses books combine beautiful storytelling, complex and engaging characters, and a story that speaks to the reader on many levels. A JOY TO READ." Owain Taylor - Editor, Musician.

''Dear Deby Adair, my year 3 students are now even more engrossed and in love with your beautifully written books! This is so exciting. Thank you so much. Respect, admiration and inspiration." Mrs Vicki Moses - Deputy Head Teacher Dapto School

"A wonderful, thrilling tale. Quite simply, beautiful books. A real pleasure! If you asked me if each of the Unicorn Kisses books were sitting on a book shelf alone amongst hundreds of other books, whether I would buy them, then the answer is, "Yes! I would!" Their story is a wonderful, thrilling tale of adventure and friendship with amazing insights and morals, coupled with skilled writing and exquisite imagery which brings them powerfully to life." Isabella Jacob. Writer, Poet, Actor.

"Wonderment, intrigue and wisdoms. As soon as you start to read the first sentence of "Wish" the room darkens and the moon and stars appear above and the warm camp fire gives enough light to read by. Then you are transported to magic childlike worlds still alive within, regardless how old the body may be." Mrs Terri Turner. (School professional.)

"Better than Harry. I never thought there could be other books that would drew me in as much as Harry Potter but then I read the Unicorn Kisses books. I became so attached to the characters. When things happened that seemed impossible to fix I tried to think of a logical way to fix it but I never thought to save the day the way Deby Adair always did. I love everything about the books! Thank you." Emma. 12 year old reader.

"Wonderfully rich read. What a wonderfully rich experience the Unicorn Kisses books by Deby Adair are for me. Delightful and well told, they honour archetypal forces and dreams and the stuff of life that really matters: beauty and truth, love and friendship, and the quest for identity and meaning." Karen Druce. Health Professional.

"A magical joy. I'm honoured to have a testimonial on Unicorn Kisses so that others can be taken to another world, as I was. These books by Deby Adair are simply magic! I cannot convey the joy of reading them. Brilliant in every way. Deby Adair's penning is amazing!" Jennifer Connor Carolan.

"Books for everyone. So talented and human. Every child would love to read and live in these complete human adventures. The Unicorn Kisses books by Deby Adair - Every school should have them in their libraries. I believe this work is important and it should be known." Zenovia Martin. Writer. Author. Poet.
