Description

A shaggy purple unicorn does everything he can—except his homework—to get wish-granting powers in the first book of this glitterrific, highly illustrated early chapter book series.

Sparkleton begs his big sister to give him wish-granting magic for one whole day so he can prove what a glitteriffic wish-granting unicorn he can be. But all the wishes he grants come out opposite!

Can Sparkleton’s friends Willow and Gabe help him undo the magic before sunset? Or will every day be opposite day?

Praise for Sparkleton #1: The Magic Day

"Sparkleton’s flaws make him an accessible character and offer a good source of low-stakes tension. A quirky new series that’s strong out of the gate."
— Kirkus Reviews

"With adorable graphics and encouraging unicorns at the end of the chapters, Sparkleton is about to take elementary libraries by (glittery) storm." — School Library Journal
