Dave.
Dave loves doughnuts. He doesn’t follow directions very well. And he farts. A lot.
Mira is a little disappointed. But she soon realizes Dave is unlike his fellow unicorns in another way: He’s a little smarter than they are. When a school trip goes awry, the only way to save the day is for Mira to embrace her unexpected unicorn best friend.

This second book in the hilarious new chapter book series continues the story of Mira at Unicorn School and her unicorn Dave, who’s not the statuesque stallion we’re trained to expect.
