The Killing of Two Birds, One Stone

Shady Pines, Oregon is the kind of town where everyone knows your name—and your secrets. Detective Harper MacLeod has worked hard to protect both: raising her son, keeping her family close, and guarding the peace of the community she’s sworn to serve.

But when bodies begin appearing in the pines, each marked with strange, unsettling details, Harper is thrown into a case that feels too deliberate to be random. The killer isn’t just leaving victims behind—they’re leaving a trail meant to rattle her, and perhaps even expose her in ways she can’t predict.

As the investigation deepens, Harper must juggle her duties as a detective, her responsibilities as a mother, and the growing fear that whoever is behind these murders knows exactly how close to cut.

Atmospheric and gripping, The Killing of Two Birds, One Stone is a small-town thriller where trust is fragile, danger hides in familiar places, and every secret comes with a price.

Turn sunlight into science—with a unicorn host.
In Unicorn Laboratory: Rainbows, our lab-coat unicorn teams up with a new kid scientist to show how real rainbows form. With kid-clear steps and playful diagrams, children learn how white light splits into colors, why the Sun should be behind you, and why red is outside and violet inside. Simple, safe activities (fine mist + prism) turn curiosity into color you can see.

Kids will learn:

• Reflection vs. refraction (bounce vs. bend)

• How droplets and prisms separate white light (dispersion)

• Why a secondary rainbow is fainter and color-flipped

• Easy “think & predict” prompts to compare mist vs. prism

Perfect for ages 3–7 at home or in the classroom.

Series note: Every Unicorn Laboratory book features the same unicorn host with a new kid helper, exploring a fresh science topic.
