The first in a hilarious, super readable and magical new adventure series from the New York Times bestselling author of The House at the Edge of Magic.

Tassie has grown up in the Citadel under careful watch, well away from any form of danger – and adventure. When the Wisest of the Wise Witches comes to visit and proclaims her the Chosen One, destined to save her people from death and destruction, Tassie realizes why she’s spent her life wrapped in cotton wool.

Tassie needs to find a new Chosen One, so along with her best friend, a griffin called Spin, and an enigmatic elf, she sets off on an epic (and somewhat chaotic) quest through magical lands in a race against time. Unfortunately, she’s never been on time for anything.

The wit and wackiness of Terry Pratchett’s young fiction combines with the jaunt and unlikely hero story of Kung Fu Panda in this unputdownable adventure.

Jack was seven and Chloe was six. Jack liked his sister, but loved to play tricks . . .

So begins this rollicking, rhyming tale that celebrates the power of imagination – with a difference! When Chloe’s silvery crayon develops magical powers, it sparks a thrilling chase through a fairytale world – an unbelievable adventure where her drawings spring to life!

Can Chloe use all her creativity and inventiveness to rescue her brother and save the day?

An adventure from the author of Do Not Enter the Monster Zoo , brought to life by the bestselling illustrator behind The Littlest Bandit and Girls Can Do Anything.
