The Unchosen One
Book Review
Amy Sparkes writes in a way that makes everything feel exciting
The story is about a girl named Tassie who discovers that she is supposed to save her world from darkness, but there’s a twist she’s not the chosen hero everyone thinks she should be. Instead, she’s the “unchosen one”!
I loved Tassie because she’s super brave and funny, even when things get really scary. The adventure is filled with magic and cool creatures, like talking animals and strange monsters. Amy Sparkes writes in a way that makes everything feel exciting.
The friendship in the story is one of my favourite parts. Tassie has a best friend named Spin, they go through so many challenges together. It shows how important it is to have friends who believe in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself.
The ending was really surprising, and it made me think a lot about being different and finding your own path. I also liked how it taught me that it’s okay not to be perfect or chosen. Tassie learns to be herself, and that made me feel inspired!
About the Book
When Tassie is announced as the Chosen One, destined to save the day, she knows there’s been a mistake. She’s nothing like the mild-mannered child described in the prophecy! Besides, being the Chosen One sounds like ZERO fun.
If Tassie wants to dodge her destiny, she needs to find a new Chosen One – and fast! Along with her best friend, a griffin called Spin, she embarks on a quest through magical lands in a race against the clock. Unfortunately, she’s never been on time for anything…
