Skandar and the Phantom Rider: the spectacular sequel to Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, the biggest fantasy adventure since Harry Potter (Volume 2)

Product Information

Now that they are in their second year at the Eyrie, Skandar and his friends get to visit some of the elemental zones on the Island. Which zone do you think would be most interesting to visit? What do you think of the Island setting? What aspects of the Island make it feel like a real place, and what makes it feel more magical or legendary? In 2020, Steadman received a "seven-figure" three-book contract for a fantasy series about "bloodthirsty unicorns". [1] This is believed to be the largest ever advance deal for a debut children's writer. [1] In the same week film rights were acquired by Sony Pictures. [2] Epic, unforgettable and endlessly exciting, Steadman’s masterful sequel soars even higher than her debut.' – Aisling Fowler, author of the Fireborn series

Skandar and the Phantom Rider - Goodreads

Despite making friends and belonging to the Grins, Skandar spends much of the book feeling like an outsider. Why does he feel this way? How do different characters reach out or support Skandar throughout the book? My book of the year. Not since Harry Potter have I felt this excited about a series. Readers are sure to be clamouring for the next book. You’ll never look at unicorns the same way again, nor will you want to!’ – Dominique Valente, author of the Starfell series On pourra me dire que c'est le principe de la littérature jeunesse : laisser les enfants affronter le Mal, en leur mettant régulièrement des bâtons dans les roues tout en courant partout tels des poulets sans tête ; et je répondrais : oui, mais je n'apprends pas de mes erreurs et que je ne suis plus la cible privilégiée pour ce genre de littérature - je ne baserais donc pas mon appréciation de l'oeuvre uniquement sur ce point). Dive into a world where unicorns are portrayed as never before with this magical middle-grade international bestselling series that has captured the world, perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Nevermoor.

Advance Praise

As the thirteen year-olds kept on walking, there was a bedazzling unicorn display although Skandar didn't appreciate it as he was still conflicted about the Spirit Element. At the end of path, there was an enormous tree, the leaves were a mixture of different colours, deep red, cornfield yellow, emerald green, sea blue and a few whites. On both sides of the tree were giant walls with plants surrounding them, similar to the Great Barrier Reef. When the sentinels opened the entrance, Flo welcomed him and they all looked around at the armoured trees and towering treehouses. There were shouts from the bridges of treehouses, shouts of 'There she is!' and 'Look, new a silver!'. Flo then explained that the Eyrie was built around the Divide because it helped their unicorns reach their full potential. selle kõrval on lausa ootuspärane ja pisiasi, et jälle on kogu maailma päästmine ainult kamba varateismeliste õlul ja kõik sõltub sellest, kas nad suudavad õigel ajal ära leppida ja omavahel koostööd teha. (aa, et tähtsa artefaktini jõudmiseks tuleb läbida maa-alune takistusrada, kus on täpselt üks väljakutse iga seltskonna liikme tugevuste jaoks? kust see tuttav ette tulebki?)

SKANDAR soars with magic, adventure, and pulse-pounding fun – the book equivalent of riding a rollercoaster while eating cake with fireworks exploding overhead!' – Andy Sagar, author of the Yesterday Crumb series There’s a map of the Island at the beginning of the book. Using this map as a starting place, create a larger version and add your own details, style, and color to it, noting places where story events happen or places you imagine are there but the story hasn’t taken the reader to yet. The First Rider tells Skandar: “The one you love the most will betray you.” (p. 349) Who do you think he means, and why? Why does it hurt more when the betrayer is someone you love? Unbonded unicorns are being killed, and the Island is destined for destruction unless Skandar and his friends can stop it.My book of the year. Not since Harry Potter have I felt this excited about a series. Readers are sure to be clamouring for the next book. You’ll never look at unicorns the same way again, nor will you want to!’ – Dominique Valente, author of the Starfell series A. F. Steadman has created a stunning new world that feels both familiar and fresh, with a cast of characters that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.’ –Tọlá Okogwu, author of Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun Have you read other books that take place in a boarding school? What are some common story elements you can recognize about this setting? How would you feel if you had to attend a boarding school? How would you feel about being separated from your local friends and your family? What would your ideal boarding school specialize in? It was as though someone had taken a brush and painted a white stripe from the inside of Skandar's wrist to his wrist. But the weirdest thing was that the the white was translucent. He could see the tendons and bones of his arm through the skin.''
