About this listen

HEROES AND UNICORNS AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE. The epic adventure continues . . .

Don’t miss this sequel to Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year 2022 Skandar and the Unicorn Thief. Skandar and the Phantom Rider is the second book in the international bestselling SKANDAR series, an unmissable adventure for listeners age 9 to 99 and fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Eragon and Fireborn.

The Island shall have its revenge . . .

Skandar Smith has achieved his dream to train as a unicorn rider.

But as Skandar and his friends enter their second year at the Eyrie, a new threat arises. Immortal wild unicorns are somehow being killed, a prophecy warns of terrible danger, and elemental destruction begins to ravage the Island.

Meanwhile, Skandar’s sister, Kenna, longs to join him – and Skandar is determined to help her, no matter what. As the storm gathers, can Skandar discover how to stop the Island tearing itself apart – before it’s too late for them all?

Just like reading the Harry Potter series, this has all of the elements of a classic series of books. Great characters, lots of excitement and unicorns! What else could you want?

What a cracking sequel. loved it so much. If you loved Harry Potter, you'll love this. Action, magic, mysteries and the blurred lines between what is good and evil.

I liked the book because it was very interesting and I like how they made not all of it about Scandar.

I really liked the story line and the way it was read.

What a follow up to her debut novel. Steadman has not just managed to better her first incredible novel in this magnificent series, she has completely knocked it off it’s bonded unicorn!

Twists and turns around the island come at you like one of Bobby’s tornado attacks and the depth given to even minor characters is as refreshing as a tidal wave shot from the most powerful water wielded.

I loved the first book and had high expectations for the second, a dangerous place to be for any wannabe rider but this did not disappoint. In fact it exceeded my expectations and has even made me try an emergency sandwich.

A hugely gripping listen (read) for all ages and I cannot wait for my sons to be old enough so I can introduce them to the world of blood thirsty unicorns.
