Walking talking rats aren’t real, right? After Kyra, 13, is transported from Earth to another world, Antiica, she’s thrust into her father’s war with the rat people, the Raturro, and must save her kidnapped mother. Kyra sets out on a dangerous journey to rescue her and is aided by Coyne, a teen who deserted the army and Mercy, a teen rat girl who was once Kyra’s childhood friend. But it’s Kyra’s new bond with the Chimera, a magical creature that travels through stone, which changes her life completely. The Chimera’s Apprentice is the story of a girl and her monster—and a desperate search for her family.
Review
I love the vibrancy and fun a middle-grade fantasy brings. It's always such a vivid and wild ride and The Chimera's Apprentice is no different. Roslyn Muir brings us an amazing cast of characters who battle both real life young issues while also battling the unknown and crazy.
Wonderful world building and plot pacing. It really flows so effortlessly from chapter to chapter.
The start of a wonderful trilogy.
