Who am I kidding: either you've loved the first two books in this series and you're gaga about this one too, or you tapped out early and have moved on to something else.
Because this book is totally awesome in the same way that Phoebe and Her Unicorn and Unicorn on a Roll are totally awesome.
School's out and Marigold and Phoebe are up to their usual adventures. This year, there's summer camp - but making new friends is easy when you've packed a unicorn! Phoebe's frenemy Dakota and her magic hair make an appearance, too, and this time Phoebe has to help her get out of a spot of goblin trouble.

Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson
After saving a unicorn (accidentally) Phoebe is granted a wish - and after trying all the usual work-arounds angling for more wishes, she settles on wishing the unicorn to be her best friend.
The socially awkward kid and smartass unicorn are wonderful pair. Nothing really happens in this graphic novel, and it's perfect just the way it is - it's mostly the pair talking, observing the world, and hanging out. And while Phoebe is a fourth-grade girl, I'd say the satire level and snark make it a book for a slightly older, preteen-through-adult readership.
I cannot wait for more Heavenly Nostrils (the comic series, taken from the unicorn's name), and will certainly be checking out the online comic's back issues. Pick this one up for sure! A truly hilarious graphic novel.
