Frankie Best Hates Quests

About the Book

Frankie Best Hates Quests by Chris Smith is a funny fantasy adventure about a girl who would rather spend her time watching YouTube and eating pot noodles than going on an epic quest. When her grandfather is kidnapped by gnoblins, Frankie is forced to leave her ordinary plans behind and enter a magical world filled with strange creatures, dangerous enemies and unexpected challenges.

A Reluctant Hero on a Magical Quest

Frankie is staying with her grandfather along with her brother Joel while her parents are away in the Arctic. Everything changes when Grandad is kidnapped, leaving Frankie with a rescue mission she never wanted.

Her journey takes her across a magical realm where she encounters fantastical creatures and dangerous situations. With plenty of humour and an unwilling hero at the centre of the story, the adventure puts a playful spin on traditional fantasy quests.
