Average rating
Magic, adventure, and a whole new world is waiting to be discovered! The perfect series for adventurers aged 9+ and fans of Michelle Harrison, Piers Torday and Jamie Littler. The Unmapped Chronicles will not only leave children entertained, but will also empower them to battle climate change and environmental issues.
Where the map ends, the adventure begins . . .
11-year-old Zebedee Bolt is on the run. Again. Only this time it’s not the police who find him. It’s an evil harpy called Morg. And when she hauls him into Crackledawn, an Unmapped kingdom that conjures sunlight for our world, Zeb discovers running away only gets you so far. When magic’s involved, you’ve got to pick a side. And though Zeb vowed he wouldn’t trust anyone ever again, he didn’t expect to stumble aboard The Kerfuffle, an enchanted boat belonging to a girl called Oonie and her talking chameleon, Mrs Fickletint. Suddenly, Zeb finds himself on a voyage complete with silver whales, fire krakens and underwater palaces. Can he muster up enough trust in others, and in magic, to summon a dragon, find the Ember Scroll and defeat Morg once and for all? This is a story about saving the world but it’s also a story about trusting friends, and chameleons, even when kingdoms are falling apart.Praise for Abi Elphinstone!

Reviews
I enjoyed reading this latest book in the Unmapped Chronicles. My favourite character is Snaggle.

I like Mrs. Fickletint the Chameleon and Oonie. I really like Snaggle the Dragon too.
Princess Tulip Vampire 21.07.2023
I liked Zeb because he is so adventurous and funny. He taught himself to play the piano. I loved that they get transported to another world and that they have to go on a quest to find the Ember Scroll. The quest is important because if they don't find the Scroll, Morg, an evil harpy, will destroy all the worlds and bring darkness to all.

Amazing

My favourite character in this book was Fox Petty-Squable because she kept her promise to Zeb, even if she needed to cross worlds in the process. I’d recommend this book to anyone who loves books that have lots of tension.

Mademoiselle Esmerelda Shortbread 28.08.2021
I picked up this book when visiting Sainsbury's. Abi Elphinstone is an amazing author and I have many of her books, this one is just as good maybe better than her last! I look forward to more stories from this author.
