The Unchosen One

What happens when the Chosen One absolutely refuses the job? Dive into a hilarious, chaotic, and magical new adventure from Amy Sparkes, the bestselling author of The House at the Edge of Magic!

About the Book: When young Tassie is officially announced as the Chosen One—destined to step up and save the day—she knows right away there’s been a massive mistake. She is nothing like the mild-mannered hero described in the ancient prophecy! Besides, being the Chosen One sounds like absolutely zero fun. Determined to dodge her destiny, Tassie decides she needs to find a new Chosen One, and fast. Joined by her loyal best friend—a griffin named Spin—she embarks on a madcap quest through fantastical lands in a race against the clock. Unfortunately, Tassie has never been on time for a single thing in her life! Prepare for dizzying dragon rides, sneaky elves, and bad-tempered orcs as Amy Sparkes brilliantly blends the wit and eccentricity of Terry Pratchett’s young fiction with the ultimate underdog charm of Kung-Fu Panda. Hailed as a wondrous shot of joy, humour, heart, and hope, this unputdownable adventure proves you don't need a prophecy to save the day.
