Bookroo's summary

Princess Ava dreams of a unicorn, but at Mrs. Paws's Haven for Magical Pets, only a pugicorn remains. Short, hairy, and unable to leap rainbows, this quirky creature challenges Ava's expectations. As they embark on an unexpected journey, can this mismatched pair discover the true meaning of friendship? With whimsical adventures and heartwarming surprises, Ava learns that sometimes the best companions come in the most unexpected forms. Will the pugicorn prove to be the friend she never knew she needed?

From the publisher

What happens when a princess wishes for a unicorn . . . but gets a PUGICORN instead? Every year, young princesses and princes arrive at Mrs. Paws’ Haven for Magical Pets to pick a perfect unicorn pet. But this year Princess Ava arrived too late. There are no unicorns left . . . only Pugicorn! He’s short and hairy. He can’t sit still or gallop gracefully–and he certainly can’t leap over rainbows. Can a pugicorn ever be a princess’s best friend?
