Heart has to find a safe haven for her beloved unicorns. With Lord Dunraven looking for them -- and Heart's friends aware that helping her will bring Dunraven's anger -- she has nowhere to turn. If only she knew where her family was -- or who they were. In a mysterious bundle of paper in Dunraven's castle Heart finds a drawing that looks like the design on her baby blanket. The paper is covered with tiny symbols. If she can find out what they mean will they unlock the secrets of the dreams that have been haunting her?

Gr. 2-4. Young Heart Avamir is still on the run in these latest entries in the Ready-for-Chapters Unicorn's Secret series. A group of gypsies comes across the cave where Heart is hiding a young unicorn and its mother. Heart fools the gypsies into thinking the foal's horn is stuck on with tree gum, and they take her along on their travels. Heart loves this taste of family life, but by the end of the third book, Silver Bracelet, she must move on alone or risk endangering both the gypsies and the unicorns. The books, originally planned as a quartet, now have expanded into a longer series, so the fourth book, Mountains of the Moon, is a bridge title, ending with Heart's realization that she is somehow linked to the unicorns and the distant mountains are where they belong. Duey once again shows impressive skill at weaving an intriguing fantasy with strongly realized characters and setting while still using the short words and sentences new readers require. Rayyan's illustrations, one per chapter, are old-fashioned and luscious. Susan Dove Lempke
