Meet accident-prone Tassalonia Monk and delve into the rich world of the Isles of Peryll in this fabulous new adventure by Amy Sparkes.
Orphaned as a baby and raised by the Chief Steward, Tassie is flabbergasted to learn she may be the islands only hope when the deadly Shadow rises once more.
And yet, can she really be the Chosen One?
She has a choice, either stay in the room at the top of the tower and attempt to decipher the ancient scrolls or, go on a quest to find the real Chosen One.
Accompanied by her closest friend, Spin the Griffin and the elf, Master Hoodwink, Tassie embarks on the adventure chased by three horrific wraiths.
But of all the interesting people and creatures she meets, who can Tassie truly trust?
What’s more, there are gold-loving dragon taxis, the tea drinking, biscuit munching Wisest of the Wise and Zella, the fairy who is not at all happy with Master Hoodwink.
Can Tassie bring them all home safely and save the island too?
I loved the humour in this story and the way the author has turned what we as readers expect to happen, upside down!
A richly described world with a whole host of quirky characters, The Unchosen One will have you laughing even as you find yourself on the edge of your seat!
This is truly a book to escape from everything and lose yourself in the adventure.
I think it would be a great book to read aloud.
Look out, there will be more adventures for Tassie ahead.
