Review

This is the third and final title in the UNICORNE FILES trilogy. Michael Malone is not your average teenager. Not only does he have paranormal abilities, but he also works for a secret and mysterious organization called the UNICORNE. What's more is that Michael's father was also affiliated with the same organization. While researching a dragon scale he mysteriously disappeared 3 years ago. It is this same dragon scale that has Michael undertaking his third mission for UNICORNE. The dragon scale and Michael's father are connected in some way. With this mission, will Michael be closer to finding out what happened to his father? This is an action packed read from the beginning. D'Lacey writes with suspense, a touch of humor and enough detail to hook readers. His main character, Michael, is believable and well written. Fans of the first two books will not be disappointed. Although, they will be sad that the trilogy has come to an end. This title would be good for reluctant older readers. Give to fans of Rick Riordan's books and Brandon Mull's Five Kingdoms series. A must purchase for libraries with the other two titles in the series. And for libraries that don't have them, purchase this trilogy. It won't stay on your shelves for very long.

Overall Book Score: very good
