"Are unicorns real?" - Emmalynn, 6, Beaufort, SC
No one has proven the existence of a unicorns. Scientists would say that unicorns are not real and that they are part of mythology.
"Cultures all around the world do have stories of unicorns from China, to India, to Africa, the Middle East and now the United States," Adam Gidwitz says. "Most of these cultures came up with the unicorns independently. Why would they all be telling the story of a creature that was the same all over the globe? Maybe because unicorns speak to something inside of ourselves, something that believes in beauty and believes in the rareness of nature and believes in magic."
