Fairies Hate Ponies

By Matthew K. Manning and Jane Eccles

Xander discovers a new magical creature - millions of them, actually! In this adventure, a swarm of insects threatens the Montgomery Orchard and twelve-year-old Xander's fruitful summer job. Luckily, the so-called bugs aren't actually bugs. Unluckily, they're miniature, unicorn-hating, insect fairies from the magical world of Pegasia! If Xander and his team of Rainbow-Barfing Unicorns can't rid the orchard of these no-good fairies, their secret will be blown quicker than a stomach-load of full-spectrum chunks. Plump-full of grotesquely delightful characters and fantastical realms, Xander and the Rainbow-Barfing Unicorns, from writer Matthew K. Manning (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures) is so epic it'll make you wanna puke.
