An Unexpected Apprentice

400 pp. | Tor | June, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7653-1433-8 $25.95
(4) YA After her family is killed by monsters, "smallfolk" girl Tildi Summerbee sets out to become a wizard's apprentice and joins a quest for a dangerous book that could destroy the world. Extensive Tolkien parallels seem meant as homages, not theft, but even the all-female casting ultimately brings nothing new to the familiar story. Nye's writing style is accessible and enjoyable.
