My Secret Unicorn facts for kids
My Secret Unicorn is a series of children's books written by Linda Chapman. The series was first published between 2002 and 2007. The books feature the adventures of Lauren and her unicorn, Twilight, and their friends. Chapman got the inspiration for the series while nannying for a pony-mad seven-year-old in 1994, and in 1998 started writing for Working Partners Ltd. Since then she has had over a hundred books published (many internationally) under various pseudonyms and under her own name.
The books concern a nine-year-old girl named Lauren and her pony Twilight. Only Michael (from A Special Friend), Rosie (from Starry Skies), and an old lady named Mrs. Fontana know that he really is a magical unicorn.
