The episodic structure of the book is satisfying Coville delivers all the de rigueur scenes, including a makeover, wherein a Geomancer provides Cara with clothing appropriate to her journey: "To finish the outfit, she strapped a short sword to Cara's side. She must travel through Luster-a world replete with all manner of secret caves and rainbow prisons and talking seashells-back to earth to try to find her grandmother, the Wanderer. Readers will thrill to the story of Cara, an earth girl who becomes both ward and savior of the unicorns. The world of the unicorns, Luster, is carefully and cohesively imagined, with myths and rules and prejudices that seem logical and organic. Song of the Wanderer, the second book in The Unicorn Chronicles, delivers a neat follow-up to Into the Land of the Unicorns, unraveling mysteries and handily reweaving new ones just as fast. Prolific children's book author Bruce Coville has delivered a down-to-earth unicorn tale, if such a thing is possible. Is Cara strong enough to resist Beloved's ruthless magic? Can she bear betraying her own blood? As Cara embarks on the journey of her life, there is one who still stands in her way: Beloved, Cara's infamous ancestor, who has dedicated a lifetime to ridding the earth of unicorns.
Only at the back of the dragon Ebillan's cave will she find the gate that can bring her back to Earth. Cara must return to Earth to save her grandmother, the Wanderer, but she must first travel through the wilderness of Luster, land of the unicorns, full of unknown creatures and perilous adventure.
