Youngest Faircrest and the Search for a Sorcerer



One boy's quest to change his future and restore magic by award-winning writer Ollie George Clark

For fans of the best-selling series How to Train your Dragon, look no further for your next epic fantasy quest.

It is the day of Deciding in the swampy town of Bogsmarsh, and awkward twelve-year-old Youngest Faircrest is deemed a dearth – the most unremarkable and undesirable profession. Distraught by his hopeless destiny and determined to change his fate, Youngest, along with his best friend Agnes and a shape-shifting piglet Satchel, plunge into the dark forest on the hunt for an ancient sorcerer and lost magic. Fierce creatures lurk within the decaying forest, but it's also home to many hidden truths...

Could it be that Youngest is more remarkable than he's been made to feel, and capable of more than he ever dreamed?

This debut novel by award-winning comedy writer Ollie George Clark is a perfect blend of humour, adventure, and heart, woven to create a spellbinding story of courage, friendship, and self-discovery that readers will treasure.
