The Accidental Apprentice

Wilderlore, Book 1

By: Amanda Foody

Narrated by: Steve West

A New York Times bestseller!

A boy who accidentally bonds with a magical Beast must set off on an adventure in the mysterious Woods in this “wholesome, delightful” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), and cheeky middle grade fantasy debut - perfect for fans of Nevermoor and How to Train Your Dragon.

The last thing Barclay Thorne ever wanted was an adventure.

Thankfully, as an apprentice to the town’s mushroom farmer, Barclay need only work hard and follow the rules to one day become the head mushroom farmer himself. No danger required. But then Barclay accidentally breaks his town’s most sacred rule: never ever EVER stray into the Woods, for within the Woods lurk vicious magical Beasts.

To Barclay’s horror, he faces a fate far worse than being eaten: he unwittingly bonds with a Beast and is run out of town by an angry mob. Determined to break this bond and return home, Barclay journeys to find the mysterious town of Lore Keepers, people who have also bonded with Beasts and share their powers.

But after making new friends, entering a dangerous apprenticeship exam, and even facing the legendary Beast of the Woods, Barclay must make a difficult choice: return to the home and rules he’s always known, or embrace the adventure awaiting him.

This edition includes a brand-new, highly illustrated map of the Woods.

Entertaining

I enjoyed listening to this book. It had adventure, magic and suspense. It kept me intrigued. I was always wondering what would happen next. I would recommend this book and will probably read the series.

he could not say the names right

A horrible job saying the names also sometimes he can be too slow or too fast.

Wilderlore

I love the narrator’s voice for this book. The author really built the world in a way that o could see it all in my head. I can’t wait read the rest of this series.

I like it when people make the main character weak in the beginning

I love the idea of this book and want you to make a new series of books about the same idea

Best book Evah!!

So good
This book is the best! I love how barclay bonds w/ the beast. 😝

Not as good as the other wilderlores.

This wilderlore feels sort of like a prolog for the others. But it’s still great.

Extremely fun and engaging
