I love Phoebe and I adore her narcissistic unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. I was reading this one at work and could not contain my laughter. I ended up sharing many panels with my coworkers.

As the subtitle says, another Phoebe and Her Unicorn. My only complaint is that the music camp bit which lends the title of the collection comes at the end.

Great bit about letting kids read graphic novels <3

Marigold has given up her crush on Lord Splendid Humility. Instead, she is going to rebound crush on his opposite. And opposite Prince Aspirational Arrogance is. But Phoebe finds reasons to like him.
Besides, she has a book report to procrastinate writing. And to argue with Dakota about. Are graphic novels real books? (the correct answer, by the way, is yes.)
There is a lovely interlude with Marigold making a small, dark, rainy universe for Phoebe to be sad in and, oh, I wish I had one. Or a unicorn. That would be good too. 
Simpson's humor is nowhere more evident than in the story of the hole. Or, as Marigold says, "a magical portal to a dimension of DARK and UNSPEAKABLE EVIL." And then, they meet their evil selves which gives them pause.
It is again time for the school play. This year it is to be "Yoony the Unicorn." We even get to see Marigold's contemplation hat. 
Phoebe also returns to her summer music camp where she meets a new friend. And it provides a lovely loop back to the beginning of this book. 
Another amazing addition to the series.
