Review of The Blue Unicorn's Journey to Osm by Sybrina Durant

****

The Blue Unicorn's Journey to Osm is a well written coming of age story set in a magical land. Unicorns are magical beings but when the Blue Unicorn is born, he is without magic. It was prophesied that Blue was going to be the savior of his kind but when he is born nothing is as it's supposed to be. Blue has no magic and no magical horn. Everyone thinks that the prophesy is wrong. How could a unicorn that has no magic ever save his kind from the evil Magh?

The Blue Unircorn's Journey to Osm is a wonderful coming of age story. Its the story of not judging a book by its cover. Blue feels as if he is nothing, unable to do anything to help his kind because he was born without magic. But Blue soon learns that it does not matter what you look like, act like or what seems impossible is not the end of the story but the beginning. He has a destiny and even though his fellow unicorns feel like he can do nothing, they find out if you believe, nothing is impossible for you., Blue soon learns that all he has to do is believe in himself. His time does come and he is transformed from Blue to Osm and becomes a mighty warrior filled with the magic of the ages.. The story was well written and the illustrations are beautiful. Sybrina did a wonderful job and anyone who needs a feel good story should read this and remember if you believe in yourself and have faith, you can not be stopped!
