Bookroo's summary

Milly, a donkey in a party hat, is thrilled to attend the prestigious Unicorn School. But as the only non-unicorn, she feels out of place. Can she find common ground with her magical classmates and prove she belongs? Discover how Milly's unique perspective might just be her greatest strength in a world where fitting in seems impossible.

From the publisher

Milly is incredibly excited to go to Unicorn School, a school that accepts only the best and the brightest. There’s only one problem: she isn’t a unicorn! She’s a donkey in a party hat. Milly first feels uncomfortable but eventually learns that she and the others at the school have more in common than it might have seemed.
