Readers won't need special goggles to see the magic of Phoebe and Her Unicorn in this collection of comics from the bestselling series for kids.

Marigold Heavenly Nostrils is one magical unicorn—and she knows it! But sometimes it’s harder for humans like Phoebe to understand that they can be magical, too. In the latest Phoebe and Her Unicorn adventure, the pair visits the science museum, tests out an extra-special virtual unicorn reality, and performs in the school talent show. With the help of her best friend and an emergency sparkle transfusion, Phoebe learns about confidence, empathy, and resilience—and even how to live without her cellphone. It’s all part of the very real excitement of Virtual Unicorn Experience.

About the Author

Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from The Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.

From 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip Ozy and Millie. After winning the Amazon-sponsored Comic Strip Superstar Contest in 2009, Andrews McMeel Syndication signed her to a development deal for Heavenly Nostrils, which was later renamed Phoebe and Her Unicorn.

She currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her tech genius spouse and her fairly stupid cat.

Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from the Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.

Attempts at doing real work along the way are hardly worth mentioning; the relevant fact is that, from 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip “Ozy and Millie.” After winning the Comic Strip Superstar contest in 2009, she developed the comic strip “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” (originally known online as “Heavenly Nostrils”), currently syndicated in around 200 newspapers.

There are a lot of "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" books, now! Some of them have been bestsellers and stuff. There are some "Ozy and Millie" books too.

Dana currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her tech genius spouse and her fairly stupid cat.

Unicorns, Magic and Nerds. What’s Not to Love?!
4 Stars
Unicorns, Magic and Nerds. What’s Not to Love?!
It’s no secret how much I love this series. There are unicorns, magic and nerds. What’s not to love?! Although it’s technically a series for kids, this adult finds it delightful. The friendship between this unicorn and her nerd is really sweet, full of mutual admiration, laughter and a healthy dose of sarcasm.In this collection we learn that Marigold floats when she’s complimented. As she fishes for compliments a lot I would have thought we’d already know about the floating but this is new information for both Phoebe and me.Phoebe learns the Unicorn Investigative Agency has her under surveillance. The solution? A sparkle transfusion! Of course, this doesn’t exactly go to plan.Phoebe finds out what life without a phone is like. Marigold attends an audition and it’s Phoebe’s job to distract her until she finds out the result. Phoebe enjoys one of life’s pleasures - falling asleep to the sound of rain.We learn that Marigold has a magical pocket dimension, which could be the answer to all of your storage needs. Phoebe performs in a talent show and Marigold has jury duty. We discover that Marigold went through a goth phase.My favourite chuckle was when Marigold showed us how good she looks in pink.I enjoyed seeing a couple of different sides to Dakota. I was disappointed by the comics that included Max though. His character has so much potential but he wasn’t given a lot to do in this collection.Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another delightful entry in the "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" series
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020
"Phoebe and Her Unicorn" has become one of my favorite comic strips, second only to "Calvin and Hobbes" and "The Far Side." I've been greatly enjoying following the comic collections, and "Virtual Unicorn Experience" has been another fun outing. Some of the strips get a little repetitive, but Dana Simpson is still able to give us enough fresh material to keep things interesting, and even show new sides to the characters.

Nine-year-old Phoebe is still best friends with Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, a vain but well-meaning unicorn... but when you're friends with a unicorn, anything can happen. From discovering that Marigold floats when she's complimented to experiencing what it's like to be a unicorn via a VR headset, from discovering she actually has interests in common with her "frenemy" Dakota to growing a unicorn tail thanks to one of Marigold's spells, Phoebe's life is never boring. But what happens when the unicorns decide that Phoebe's friendship with Marigold is suspect, and put her on trial for the crime of NOT being a unicorn?

Dana's artwork is nicely stylized, cute yet detailed and reminiscent of a cleaner, more "cutesy" version of Bill Watterson's work on "Calvin and Hobbes." Backgrounds can be a little dull, but there's still plenty of detail and some fun visual gags for the reader to enjoy. Bonus points for actually giving the characters more than one outfit instead of resorting to the "limited wardrobe" of some comics.

After twelve collections of comics, some of the jokes in this series have gotten a little repetitive. Still, there's enough fresh comic material to keep it fresh, and it's nice seeing new sides to the characters -- especially Dakota, who's managing to have other sides to her personality than just being the stereotypical snob. It's unfortunate that Max gets very little page time and that regulars like Sara and Todd the Candy Dragon didn't show up, but it's nice to see Splendid Humility again at least.

"Virtual Unicorn Experience" is another fun entry in this series, and a delight for both kids and adults. I hope this series continues for awhile, and am eager to see where Simpson takes it next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Hilarious and Clever!
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020
I have followed this series for years, and am thrilled that I got to read this new book months in advance through NetGalley. It is absolutely hilarious, and it amazes me that Dana Simpson has been able to come up with new and inventive ideas for Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils for a dozen books.

Although this title shares some similar jokes to previous ones, it follows unique storylines, uses familiar punchlines in new ways, and continues to develop the characters and their relationships. This book is incredibly creative, and of all of the comics and short narratives, my favorite is the story where Marigold gets called up for unicorn jury duty. Everything about this is hilarious. I love the illustrations, and the judge in his wig, and the dialogue, and all of the elements that I won't mention because of spoilers. It's FANTASTIC.

This book made me laugh out loud multiple times. It is a great choice for children, teens, and adults, and as always, it seems worthwhile to point out that my teenage brother has read all of these books as they have released. Even though the pink and sparkly cover makes this look like this is exclusively aimed at elementary-aged girls, this series is perfect for anyone who enjoys creative humor, witty dialogue, and fantasy entwined with everyday life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again, a delight!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020
This is the 12th volume of the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series, and, once again, it was a delight. I love this series, and so does my seven-year-old daughter. She wanted to write this review, so here she goes:

“Phoebe and her Unicorn is a great book series. The book Virtual Unicorn Experience is one of the best ones. I thought at the beginning it was very interesting that Marigold had to say bad things about herself to keep herself from floating away every day! I thought that it was very amazing that it that she could float up high and make it a lot easier for nail polish, but I did wonder why they didn’t use that in the other books because they have had a lot of makeovers!

I think that they should’ve had more Dakota in it because she is a very interesting character with her magical hair and her goblins which is why it confused me that she was only in like three panels.

I think that is impressive that the author manages to take her daily strips and make them into a book. I think that it makes it more interesting and a lot funner to read!!”

Thanks to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
