Book - 2026

"On a perfectly normal day at school, Tracy dumps a mountain of glitter onto her art project--and things start to get weird. First, she can't understand her teacher. Then her ear begins to emit sparkly junk, loud singing, and rude noises! The doctor delivers some grim news: Tracy has a case of Acute Fantastical Impaction. A.k.a.: There's a teeny tiny unicorn in her ear! It turns out that unicorns are attracted to glitter. When the doctor's "procedure" (politely asking the unicorn to come out using a hand puppet) fails to cure the problem, the doctor wishes the Tracy and her mom good luck, hands them a pamphlet titled So, you've got a unicorn in your ear... and sends them on their way. At home Tracy and her... parents try all of the solutions suggested in the pamphlet--but when jellybeans, dance parties, milkshakes, and cartoon marathons don't work, Tracy decides to take things into her own hands. She heads to the library and checks out every book on unicorns that she can find. After reading forty-six books, Tracy finds one important commonality between every unicorn appearance: there is always a rainbow! It's raining outside, so Tracy and her parents set out in search of a rainbow. One appears at edge of town, and--at last!--the unicorn jumps out of Tracy's ear and straight into the rainbow with a celebratory "WHEEE!" Through her own perseverance, initiative, and problem-solving skills, charming and wise-cracking Tracy becomes the hero of her own journey."-- more
