Tackling the theme of childhood disability and play with humour and warmth... and unicorns.
Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner Rebecca Patterson deftly handles the subject of childhood play and disability from her own personal experience of growing up with a disabled sister. Frankie and her sister are UNICORN MAD! Today, they're playing their favourite unicorn game, but when their bossy friend Ada arrives with her brother to play, she takes over the game - and takes over the wheelchair - putting them all in unicorn prison! After all, they've been bad unicorns, haven't they?
- The main character is a wheelchair user, and this story shows how that makes no difference to being included in boisterous playtime!
- Ada takes over the game and soon realises that being bossy isn't fun for anyone!
- Rebecca Patterson studied Children's Book Illustration at the prestigious Cambridge School of Art. She has since published children's books worldwide, and won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2012.
