WISH ON A UNICORN

by | Read by Kate Rudd

Young Adult Young Adult • 2 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1991

If wishes were horses, or maybe unicorns, then sixth-grader Mag’s life of poverty might improve. Imagine her surprise when a stuffed unicorn begins to spread magic throughout her troubled family and their trailer home. Narrator Kate Rudd moves ably from character to character as she portrays mentally handicapped Hannie’s slow, broken speech; preschooler Mooch’s exuberance and terrors; and Mag’s exasperation with her kin. Poignantly, Rudd depicts Mag’s longing for freedom from a bully and for acceptance from snooty classmates. Adults make sparse appearances but are also well delineated. Rudd is especially good at dramatizing Mag’s transformation as she realizes that the unicorn she hoped would change her life has actually changed her perspective.
