Team Unihorn and Woolly #1: Attack of the Krill - by Alexis Frederick-Frost (Paperback)

About the Book

"Life on Burlap Beach is peaceful, until two very odd things happen on the same day: an iceberg containing the last woolly mammoth washes ashore, and a group of one-horned friends get too close to the super-rare blood moon, and wake up with superpowers. Now Shu the grumpy horseshoe crab can fly, Raina the rhino has superspeed, and Nigel the narwhal's natural sonar is amplified into x-ray vision. Poor Woolly is the odd one out, as the newbie with TWO tusks and ZERO powers. Luckily, Woolly has big brains to match his big frame"--

Book Synopsis

Meet the coolest new superhero team on Burlap Beach in the first in a series of graphic novels for young readers.

Raina the rhino, Nigel the narwhal, Shu the horseshoe crab, and Woolly the mammoth have more in common than the fact that they all have horns. (WARNING: Never try to tell Shu that hers is really more of a tail!) They were also all exposed to a Super Blood Full Moon Eclipse that gave them each strange powers. Now Shu can fly, Raina is lightning quick, Nigel has supersonic sonar, and Woolly, well, he's extra fluffy.

Unfortunately, our heroes aren't the only ones who were gifted by the eclipse. Now they'll need to stave off a giant krill monster who was also caught up in the event. If they can't stop him, it might just mean the end of Burlap Beach, Team Unihorn (and Woolly), and even--gasp!--summer's tastiest treat, ice cream!
