Description
Tiny Wilde would like to believe that all is well in Wonderville now that the Immortal Octopus, and source of the Mythics' magical powers, is healing. But not everyone is happy about the return of magic. Tiny's human classmates see him as a scary giant out to get them all, so he's trying to prove them wrong and stay out of trouble.
It's not long, however, before trouble finds him.
Unicorns are disappearing from Wonderville. A frightening midnight visitor, an injured unicorn, and long-lost photos that once belonged to Tiny's mother give Tiny the clues he needs to investigate the disappearances.
Desperate to reunite his dad and his Grandpa Bron, who haven't spoken to each other in years, Tiny sees this adventure as the perfect opportunity to reach out. But when Tiny discovers his grandfather is spending time with dangerous thugs and terrorizing Mythics in the Woods, he?s not sure who to trust.
With fellow hero Nalia and new allies Sadie and Numbskull by his side, Tiny sets out to rescue the missing unicorns. Together, they'll battle pirate trolls and trickster pixies, all to restore balance to the Mythic population in this exciting second installment in the Quests of Tiny Wilde series.

Review Quotes
"This book is awesome. If you like books with great descriptions and an exciting chase, then you will love this. The characters have unique names, and they are all very cool, especially Tiny Wilde, who is a young giant on an important quest with a mermaid. I loved all the friends they make on their journey and the pixies, shape-shifters and trolls. It is cool how Star Wars is in the book because Star Wars is amazing. It also reminded me of Stranger Things in that it is mystical but also about friendship, loyalty and kindness. It gets funnier as it goes on, and the short chapters make it very enticing to read the next one. At the start of the book, there is a cool map. I really enjoyed it, and I recommend it to anyone who likes reading super cool books."
—"Tolson has created a remarkable fantastical world with the perfect balance of adventure, heroics, and mythics ? with some life lessons thrown into the mix. I can't wait to read more of Tiny?s quests and hero journeys."
