SHORTLISTED: 2024 Best Children's Fiction, Aurealis Awards - A young orphan named Bastienne Scull lives with the local Witnesser of Miracles, Lodyma Darsey, who investigates miraculous events and spins them into stories she tells at the night markets. After Lodyma's husband and elder son died of a sickness that continues to sweep the land, she sent her teenage son Osmin into the hills to live with the mountain men. That was ten years ago, and Lodyma doesn't know if he's alive or dead. And she's taken Bastienne as an apprentice to fill the void of her lost family. - A wonderful novel, full of hope, courage, resilience, and family. - A classic MacDibble: young Basti is a delight as she searches for her strength and a family in a post-apocalyptic world, leaving us with a glimmer of hope for her future and our own. - Wendy Orr - Bren MacDibble has become well-known for her unique and heartfelt adventure novels... and The Apprentice Witnesser is no exception.
