In the story entitled Diadem, Book of Thunder, three children called Helaine, Score and Pixel travel again to a world called Dondar after narrowly escaping the evil wizard Sarman and the Three who Rule, to answer a cry for help from Helaine's unicorn friend, Flame. Flame's father, Thunder, the leader of the herd, has been challenged to a Rite of Combat by a strange newcomer, Tychus. Score only just managed to stop Tychus from killing Thunder, and they are all forced to leave the herd. But Helaine stays with Flame, to keep a close watch on Tychus. Later, in the castle of a wizard that the "Chosen Three" had defeated, Pixel and Score discover that Tychus had drugged Thunder in order to win the fight. Soon after, Thunder has a vision that takes the unicorns and the Chosen Three on an enchanting quest to right the wrong, and mostly to survive.

I have read all six of the diadem series at least a zillion times. Though i get teased alot by my older brother, Robert(16) for reading "childish books" i can't help but love them. I wish that John Peel would write more of the diadem books so that i can read them over and over again till they fall apart!!!! I've read like every book he's written and so has my friend, Lisa(13, soon to be 14). Though the books are recomended for ages 9-12 i'm 14 and love them!! Have i said that already? Oh well, i just wrote this to beg Mr.Peel to have mercy on my poor soul and to please PLEASE write more of the DIADEM books:the greatest series ever written!!!!

If you want to know the truth, I'd give this book 100 stars but 5 was the maximum. Not only Diadem Book Of Thunder was amazing, but the rest of the Diadem books as well. Magic is everywhere with exciting events, and hold onto your seat, because you're not only going to another world, you're going to another universe! Our three completly differen't companions learn to combine their power, and become unstoppable. I suggest this book to anyone who's ready for the chill and the thrill.

the fact the this series was written was great pleasure. I was able to read 1-6 and they were a great experence to the imagination. This is one of the best I have read in my life. If you like fantasy, mystery, and tons of mistical creature this is your type of series.

Diadem #4: Book of Thunder, by John Peel

Fresh from their defeat of Sarman, the evil magician who tried to take over the worlds of the Diadem, Score, Helaine, and Pixel are thrust into another adventure when their unicorn friends are targeted by a deadly enemy. For the first time, the powerful trio is split up, as Score and Pixel try to solve the puzzle of missing unicorn, and Helaine stays behind to spy on the herd.

Another good entry in the Diadem series, "Book of Thunder" continues the theme of evil being found on most of the worlds in the Diadem. As the most powerful magicians in the universe, Score, Helaine, and Pixel are the only ones strong enough to root out the different types of evil. Also present is how the power of friendship and loyalty, and the want to do the right thing, can triumph.

4/5.

Love the Diadem worlds books, This one is #4 and its awesome with the Unicorns. My favorite

Thunder the leader of the unicorn herd is defeated in combat, and banned from the herd, along with his wife Nova. But his opponent used poison to win the battle, and it is up to Helaine, Pixel, and Score to help Thunder get back his rightful place as the leader of the unicorn herd. The twists and turns that follow make this fourth book of the Diadem series well worth the read.

My son, who is definately not a reader, loves this series. It took me 10 years, but I finally found something he enjoys reading!!!

Peel takes the kids on a mystical magical adventure with Unicorns. Best book of the entire series, the magical unicorns are actually fun the way they are written, very human. The kids in the book are working together very well, and care about each other.

I think this is a great book. I myself am a horsefan, and I have a hard time finding interesting books that have horses or horse-related animals in them. The plot is great, and the role the unicorns play in this book is very interesting. I am definatly going to read some more of John Peel's work.
