Foundling
by D.M. Cornish
While the story follows a fairly traditional line - orphan is sent into world to be apprenticed, encounters strange creatures and adventures along the way - the world is so completely fresh and strange that you feel as though anything could happen and anything could exist. This cover really doesn't do the story justice, but if you love complex and detailed fantasy worlds, complete with maps and glossaries and calendars and diagrams of ships and clothing, there's certainly enough here to keep you interested. I'm looking forward to the second book. I think this would appeal to say middle school and up - readers who like Lloyd Alexander, and Tolkien, and stories of hapless characters going off into the big, strange world.
