From the publisher: “Unicorns & the Forces of Evil: Escape to New Orleans is an adventurous tale of magical realism imagined by the young writers of the 826 After School Program. This semester, students observed the city they call home through their realities and imaginations; developing this story in a series of narrative fiction-building art and writing sessions. Written by the brilliant students of our After School Program with poetry collaborations from our Young Writers' Council, this fantastical collection of cultural commentary and celebration features interviews and sensory vignettes that merge the mundane into a city of magical possibilities.”
