Unicorn Island: Secret Beneath the Sand by Donna Galanti @DonnaGalanti

Posted on by

I am loving the covers for the Unicorn Island series by Donna Galanti.

From Donna Galanti: It’s been a wonderful journey writing the Unicorn Island series and it all started with my publisher who said, “I’d like for you to write a book about a girl who has to take care of a unicorn.” And of course, I said YES to that because … unicorns! They are magical, wondrous, and mysterious. 🦄

MY REVIEW

Unicorn Island is a magical story that has everything a young mind could want in an adventure, with plenty of fantasy and fact to inspire…the young and the old alike.

Foggy Harbor has begun to feel like home since Sam made a friend and discovered a magical island full of unicorns and other magical creatures. Now…their immortality is threatened and she searches for a cure, finding a secret from her past that links her to the future of the herd.

Sam had learned her Uncle Mitch’s legacy was to protect the herd and keep the secret of the island that was hidden by a fog bank. He was training Sam and her friend, Tuck, to be unicorn protectors.

When Donna Galanti mentioned elephants evolution and tusks (yes, I am talking real elephants), I had to check it out and see if it was real. I urge you to do the same.

Love. Selflessness. Devotion. Courage.

“…Science and magic together can create wondrous things…”

I loved this wonderful adventure into the magical world of Unicorn Island, with fabulous characters and magical creatures that work together to save the unicorns and the island. Not only does it have a gorgeous cover, but it holds factual tidbits at the end of the story to inspire young minds.

  1. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review, Secret Beneath the Sand! I’m so glad you liked it and I hope you enjoy the 3rd and final book out next winter where all mysteries are wrapped up. 🙂

    I had so much creating some new creatures for Secret Beneath the Sand. Thank you for mentioning the elephant tusks. It’s truly horrible and fascinating that elephants are now being born without tusks as a defense mechanism to poaching. Evolution is a mysterious amazing thing! It was fun to mix magic and science together in this book.

    Thanks again for such a thoughtful post here on the book!

    • I hope she does enjoy reading it, Carole! I can send you a personalized book plate label and bookmarks for her 🙂 Just email me her information at: donna(at)donnagalanti.com
