The shape of this universe.
The Unchosen One is Amy Sparkes's funny, magical fantasy-adventure series about a girl who is named the Chosen One and immediately decides destiny has picked the wrong person. Tassie has grown up carefully protected in the Citadel, so when the Wisest of the Wise Witches announces she is the prophesied hero, she is certain there has been a mistake — she is nothing like the mild, noble child of legend, and being the Chosen One sounds like no fun at all. With her best friend, a griffin called Spin, she sets off through magical lands full of dragons, elves and comic mishaps. Fast, warm and irreverent, it turns the destiny quest inside out for readers who love magical chaos and reluctant heroes.
