Although I have been a fan of "The Unicorn Chronicles" I have never heard of this particular book from the Covilles.

For this reason, I chose to read it aloud to my son immediately after finishing...

Certain books are just shot through with nostalgia, to the point where all you have to do is open them, and you're transported back to childhood. Masquerade is one of those books for me, I had the great luck to have been living on an RAF base in the UK when this came out, and my elementary school class fell immediately...
