A humorous and fantastical story about a plucky girl who takes initiative to solve her very curious unicorn dilemma. On a perfectly normal day at school, Tracy dumps a mountain of glitter onto her art project-and things start to get weird. First, she can't understand her teacher. Then, her ear begins to emit sparkly junk, loud singing, and rude noises! The doctor delivers some grim news: it turns out, unicorns are attracted to glitter, and Tracy has Acute Fantastical Impaction. In other words, there's a teeny tiny unicorn in her ear! After the doctor's efforts fail, Tracy decides to take matters into her own hands. She heads to the library and checks out every book on unicorns that she can find. After reading forty-six books, Tracy finds one important commonality about unicorns: there is always a rainbow close by! So, after the next rainstorm, Tracy and her parents set out to find a rainbow to entice the unicorn to come out of her ear-and it works! Through her own perseverance, initiative, and problem-solving skills, charming and wise-cracking Tracy becomes the hero of her own whimsical journey.
