In the hilarious seventh book of this blockbuster graphic novel series, Narwhal wishes to see a unicorn — and actually becomes one! Now in paperback, with a brand-new Super Waffle and Strawberry Sidekick comic!

When Jelly wonders what a unicorn is, Narwhal explains that they're pretty much narwhals of the land (!) — and then gets carried away with a grand plan to see one. With the help of Star, Narwhal's wish comes true in the wildest, weirdest way: Narwhal gets some land legs and takes their first step ashore. After some wibble-wobbling and a bit of practice, Narwhal is soon galloping along in search of unicorns, though Jelly is a little land sick. Before they know it, Star has the duo blasting off to a magical planet where everyone is a unicorn! But Jelly's out-of-this-world adventure makes him feel out of his comfort zone, and he wishes he were at home . . . can Narwhal cheer Jelly up and also party down with their new unicorn pals?

This paperback edition features a brand-new, never-before-seen comic by Jelly, starring Super Waffle and Strawberry Sidekick!

"Clanton’s focus on social awareness and listening gives Narwhal an opportunity to work on some social-emotional development that will surely increase their capacity for empathy in future adventures. . . . [R]eaders will find themselves satisfied with the happy resolution and wishing for more. A wonderful, whimsical romp for fans of this heart-filled buddy comedy." —Kirkus Reviews

"[A] wacky and wonderful read with lasting lessons about the importance of being a good friend and how even the most ordinary adventures can be extraordinary." —Hakai Magazine

"Nestled in the silliness of the story is a lesson about listening, as Narwhal realizes he might not have been such a super listener. An entertaining read for all.” —Story Monsters Ink
