Heather Burge | 3 comments Not sure of the years. I read it in elementary school from the local library sometime in the 90s. A girl meets a boy playing a flute. He turns out to be a unicorn and they travel to another land where the unicorns are going blind from a disease that causes a growth over their eyes.

Heather Burge | 3 comments No, it’s neither of those. The girl definitely wasn’t blind, it was the unicorns. It may have been YA? It’s been so long I honestly can’t remember. And the land they travel to doesn’t have people I don’t think. Also there must have been some type of flying creature because I remember a scene towards the end whoever a blind unicorn was trying to stab something in the air with its horn. Also the boy that’s actually a unicorn, I believe the flute he’s playing in the beginning is a unicorn horn.
