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

It's the day of the Deciding in swampy Bogsmarsh. The day every twelve-year-old learns their fate. Sitting in the Decider's study, Youngest Faircrest is declared remarkable at one thing: just how unremarkable he is.

Determined to prove he is more than what has been Decided, Youngest does the only sensible thing: he heads to where no one else dares to reclaim Bogsmarsh's stolen magic (if it even exists) from a 500 year old evil sorcerer (she probably does exist)! Together with his best friend Agnes and piglet sidekick Satchel, Youngest is about to face monsters, mysteries, and mayhem… Could it be that Youngest is more remarkable than he's been made to feel, and capable of more than he ever dreamed?
