A Plague of Unicorns

By: Yolen, Jane

Book Overview

In this historical fiction-meets-fantasy novel by award-winning author Jane Yolen, readers 8-12 will experience a world where a young boy with nothing but questions may have the only answer to solving a unicorn infestation at a medieval abbey. With humor, heart, and an empowering twist at the end, this book is perfect for Yolen fans and anyone who wants to make their voice heard.

When young James asks one too many questions, his mother and uncle hope an education at Cranford Abbey will make him a proper noble--but when James arrives, the monks there are most interested in keeping the unicorns in the orchard from eating all the prized golden apples they need to save the abbey. Abbot Aelian thinks he knows how to defeat the ravenous unicorns, though it may actually be up to James to use his inquisitive mind to find a way to save Cranford Abbey and hopefully find a way to return home.

Customer Reviews

Tiny print not large print and in horrible condition.

Was not what I ordered. Has tiny print and is in horrible condition.

No way is this large print. It’s even smaller print than I thought! Ordered for my vision impaired m

Can’t read it. It’s too small font

Either I misunderstood what very good meant or this was just a discarded item listed on here

Missing pages, writing on pages in ballpoint, cover folded and creased, pages folded and torn. I received most of a book. Like I stated previously, I must have misunderstood what very good meant.

One year Chronological Bible niv

I got a totally different version of the Bible. Was told in good condition I would say it is well used. Disappointed as was giving it to someone.

Not Large Print

I am not sure why this paperback was labeled as "Large Print" because it isn't large print. I am baffled. I had to donate the book to Goodwill. It was a decent copy but the print was way too small.

One Year Chronological Bible NIV

There is a list of daily readings as well as an easy format instead of a two column Bible. Very inviting way to read the Bible. I recommend to everyone.

Not only for "students"

I am a pastor who's been in ministry for over 15 years. When I first saw this "Student" Bible, I quickly dismissed it as the first of many lines of youth-oriented Bibles. But several years back, I happened to pick this up at our church's Lost & Found (many Bibles can be found there, as you must also know from first hand experience) and was delighted at what I found. I recommend the bulkier NIV Study Bible or Quest Study Bible for my congregation so that they can study the texts as they read them. But for me, I wanted a Bible that didn't have so much study materials that forced me to glance here and there, but something with small morsels of goodies here and there to make me pause at the important (or most often quoted) passages for a second glance. With this Student Bible, I am able to be free of "study texts" so that I can engage in the text without an external guide, but as I read through the Bible, this Bible makes me stop to read the short sidebars or quick notes here and there that reminds me of some important points. As a person who's read the Bible many times over, I really like this feature -- never overbearing, but in perfect amount. These days, I recommend this Bible to my congregation.

So covenient

What I really like about this Bible is the feel of it in my hand. You feel like you can have the Bible with you at all times. It's so light and convenient. It makes reading the Bible easy and you can carry it anywhere. You don't feel like you're lugging something around. I just stick it in my jacket pocket and it's not a burden to carry in your hand. I've had other larger Bibles, but I never read them. I always go for this compact reference Bible even at home. The small print is still easy to read and my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be.

Wonderful present

I bought this bible as a gift and liked it so much that I bought myself one...This is my first NIV bible and must say that is very easy to read. The devotionals are inspriring, affirming, and the scriptures inspire me to follow a more Godly path.This bible will make a wonderful present for any woman seeking to learn and live more for Christ.
