Being city kids in the country is one problem, but Brendan listens with growing concern as Ami begins to talk about a unicorn hoofprint she sees in the woods. When Ami assumes the role of Maid Amelia and obsessively fantasizes about capturing the mythical beast, Brendan finds himself drawn into her imaginary world, almost against his will. Brendan knows that for his sister the unicorn quest helps fill the emptiness left by their father's death. But the fantasy is also serving as a refuge for him as he tries to define himself as something more than Nick's twin. The search for the unicorn comes to a head when Nick, Brendan, and Ami embark on a secret nighttime journey up a nearby mountain to spy on an elderly neighbor whom they call the Ogre. Will Ami, with Brendan's help, be able to capture the unicorn before the night is over?
