In the prettiest parts of the Forest of Hearts, a cute little unicorn was born. Its mane was puffy, its fur SUPER fluffy... But as adorable as it looked, it didn't behave like the other unicorns in its herd. 'NO' was its favourite word! No matter how many sweet lucky clovers or soft squishy cuddles that the other unicorns offered, the answer was always 'NO'. And so this unicorn became known as the uNOcorn.
It's no surprise that one day our contrary unicorn decides to break free of its cotton-candy world and have an adventure of its own. Along the way, the uNOcorn meets a raccoon who never listens ('Huh?'), a dog who doesn't care ('So what?') and a rude princess (whose favourite word is 'YES!'). What a wonderful team they make, because being stubborn is much more fun together!

* * USER TESTIMONIALS: 'Nineteen Eighty-Four meets Vonnegutian slap
stick in a free-wheeling satire spliced with black humour and some
gloriously wicked social commentary.' The Guardian 'QUALITYLAND is
very funny and very scary - my kind of book.' Mike Judge, creator
of Silicon Valley & King of the Hill 'The best kind of satire,
offering up a funhouse mirror version of our world that is so smart
and so cutting, you have to laugh to keep from crying.' Rob Hart,
author of The Warehouse 'This is spot-on satire.' Publishers Weekly
'Kling's sharp observations expose with delightful brutality how
close QualityLand is to reality.' Booklist 'How much you enjoy this
is in direct proportion to how much trouble you think we're all in.
Sleep tight.' Kirkus Reviews 'Wow, what a hilarious yet deeply
concerning joyride into the future that surely awaits us.' You,
after you've read QualityLand
