This is a fun and educational book for kids! It teaches about friendship, creativity with recycled materials, and taking care of the environment. The story follows a group of friends on Rainbow Day, where the main character dreams of seeing a real unicorn—though no one believes they exist. Together, they go on an exciting adventure, learning important lessons along the way. The colorful art and charming characters bring the story to life.

The title of this sounded very interesting and fun, so I was excited to read this graphic novel. The illustrations were cute, and the story was indeed very fun.

I think lots of young readers would love to read this, so definitely keep this in mind to read with kids or to give to a young reader as a present. (If you get it as a present, definitely borrow it after they are done reading, because you might find it fun too!)

omg the graphics and illustrations were stunning in this book. as an adult i really loved the story line. it was easy to follow and easy to understand. i would definitely recommend my ESL (English as second language) students to read it. i'm sure they would love it so much, especially the rainbow boba and ofc the unicorns.

⤷ thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A super cute children’s book that not only has sweet illustrations, but also a sweet message. My kids were engaged and had me flipping the pages. My daughter is really into unicorns right now, so this was the perfect read for us.

This was a really cute book. I liked how colorful it was and I also like the unicorn and how it went to the candy world map. I like the two characters in the book I also like how colorful it is.

4.5/5⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for the ARC copy of Quinnelope and the Unicorn Utopia! We thoroughly enjoyed it!

This book was absolutely hilarious! While clearly a children’s book, Quinellope and the Unicorn Utopia had so many clever little jokes and subtle moments that made it just as entertaining for older readers. It strikes that perfect balance between silly and smart.

One of my favorite moments was the map of Unicorn Utopia that proudly declared “Where all your dreams come true” — only to sneak in the fine print “if all your dreams are nightmares.” That line genuinely made me laugh out loud!

I also really appreciated the nod to environmental consciousness. When the characters were getting boba and the girl offered them straws, they responded with, “No thanks, we have our own metal straws because they’re good for the environment.” Such a cute, subtle way to teach kids about eco-friendly choices without making it feel like a lecture.

Overall, this book was a joyful, quirky read with vibrant humor and heart. Perfect for kids — and for adults who enjoy a little absurdity and clever wordplay in their stories.

For those unfamiliar with the world of Quinnelope, it belongs to the same whimsical genre as Dog Man or The Bad Guys. Like those books, it thrives on absurdity and chaos, but Quinnelope leans even further into randomness, with deliberately unresolved plot points that are intentionally nonsensical. Adult readers might find this frustrating, but its intended audience will likely find it both baffling and hilarious.

Young readers will finish the book brimming with questions: Where did the horns originally come from? What’s Shark Squid’s backstory? How does the ink work? They’ll notice that not everything makes sense, and they’ll want more anyway.

What sets Quinnelope and the Unicorn Utopia apart from other books in this genre is its overt sincerity. While it shares a zany spirit with other graphic novels, it also carries a surprising earnestness. Beyond the familiar themes of friendship, the importance of critical reading and thinking, and the value of color in life, the creators include a land acknowledgment, advocate for nondisposable straws, and give the character Star a gender-neutral parade title.

As an adult, I didn’t entirely get it, but due to popular demand, I’ve already borrowed the first book in the series, Quinnelope and the Cookie King Catastrophe. Maybe it’ll help fill in some of the narrative gaps. Then again, even if it doesn’t, I suspect kids will still find it delightful.

Thanks to Oni Press and NetGalley for providing an advance reading copy.

A cute little book aimed at children, the artwork was fun and vibrant, and definitely engaging. I think it would appeal to its target audience a lot based on that, and the fact that the storyline was easy to follow. And who doesn't love unicorns!

Silly, wacky, whimsical and great for those who like silly humour,
Certainly more suited for children.
Two friends go on a unicorn quest and learn more about friendship along the way.
The art style is a great match for the story. I liked the characters more than the plot and will introduce the other books in this series to my child.

Very imaginative. Quinnelope is delightfully odd and a very good friend indeed. I worry about that panda who's down to do ANYTHING for a friend but I'm also grateful that both were down to put everything aside to support their friend, the star. And who doesn't love a unicorn quest?!! The artwork is whimsical and the whole book is silly in the best way. Enjoyable read. I didn't realize it was third in a series, so I'll definitely be checking the rest out with the young ones in my life. Loved that the font used in this book is dyslexia friendly so anyone can enjoy it!

I'm not really sure I honestly liked this book. It was a little weird to me and I enjoy weird books.

What a fun and whimsical book about the importance of friendship! This is the third book of the series but one can easily read it as a stand alone book. Quinnelope and friends go on an adventure to find a real unicorn. I really enjoyed the silliness of the book. It reminded me of reading Captain Underpants when I was a kid. The artwork is cute and the dialogue was hilarious! I like that the font is dyslexia friendly making it easier for anyone to read. This is a perfect graphic novel for a child.

This adorable little book made me so happy. That's all I need to say.. It's so cute. I believe in unicorns!
