Lauren's pony Twilight changes into a unicorn when she whispers the magic words, but Lauren must keep this a secret or it could put Twilight in great danger. Lauren's friend, Mel, is teased by girls at school because her pony Shadow can't jump. Shadow is afraid, so Lauren and Twilight visit him secretly and use Twilight's unicorn magic to give Shadow the confidence to begin to overcome his fear. One night a powerful storm leaves Mel and Shadow trapped in a barn by a burning branch. Shadow is scared and can't jump, but then he remembers Twilight's help and is filled with bravery. With a magnificent jump, he soars over the burning branch carrying Mel to safety.

—— Times Literary SupplementBeaver Towers is an outstanding read! Every year, it's the one book that's guaranteed to capture every child's imagination, inspire them to read and bring their own writing alive. The children instantly connect with the brilliantly created characters, especially the lovable and hilarious Baby B. It's a joy to read aloud. I highly recommend it!
—— David Hemsley, Head Teacher, Hildenborough Primary SchoolI've enjoyed reading Beaver Towers to classes of children for many years now. They absolutely love the stories and characters especially Baby B and can't wait to read the books themselves. Every time I finish a chapter there are groans from around the room. Even years later children return, fondly remembering the plots and characters. I can't recommend these books enough and will hopefully continue to read them for many years to come.
