The Unchosen One

Description Share Post The Unchosen One Amy Sparkes (Walker Books) Surely there’s a mistake? However, not according to the Wisest of the Wise (with her taste for tea and biscuits). After all, how can Tassie, ward of the Chief Steward, possibly be the foil to the rise of the Shadow? Yet, on a day when Tassie’s thoughts are full of plums, she’s charged with facing a destiny for which she’s totally ill- equipped and unprepared. There are green silk pyjamas and matching slippers alongside ‘newfangled flat, round bread with the tomato sauce and grated cheese’ promised. However, Tassie’s certain she’s The Unchosen One. Yet the feeling of cold, the emerging dread. Signals? If Tassie’s on this quest, she’ll need her best friend, battered, inventor griffin, Spin, and her mother’s sword. Then again, she’s always sought an adventure, hasn’t she? However, this is unlike any adventure that Tassie could ever imagine. In fact, there are moments along this quest where she longs for the island of Peryll’s apple tree. Who can she trust? Master Darley, the elf, with the price on his head? Jamie the Orc, with his penchant for reading? There is not much time to consider, for the Wraiths are rising in preparation for the Shadow. Amy Sparkes is a dynamic writer whose stories are always filled with imagination and hilarity. Just think of her The House at the Edge of Magic trilogy! Bookwagon is so excited to welcome aboard The Unchosen One.
