Barclay and his friends must save an island city from the Legendary Beast of the Sea in this "charming and earnest" (Kirkus Reviews) sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Accidental Apprentice, perfect for fans of Nevermoor and How to Train Your Dragon.
Something is wrong at the Sea. The weeping tide, a carnivorous algae bloom, is eating up all the fish. Beasts are terrorizing the nearby Elsewheres. And Lochmordra, the Legendary Beast, is rising at random and swallowing ships whole.

Barclay's teacher, the famous Guardian Keeper Runa Rasgar, has been summoned to investigate, and as her apprentice, Barclay gets to join too. But Runa's nemesis has also been called to the Sea, and he's brought apprentices of his own. When the not-so-friendly competition between them grows fierce, it's Barclay—the only one from the Elsewheres—who can't seem to keep up.

The key to stopping Lochmordra lies in his mythical home, but as the flood of the weeping tide encroaches, time is running out to find it. If the rival groups can't cast aside old grudges and learn to work together, soon the Sea will be destroyed completely. And all the while Barclay must ask himself: is there truly a place for him in the Wilderlands?

      Barclay Thorne's mystical journey continues in an oceanic setting. Several months after the end of The Accidental Apprentice (2021), readers encounter 11-year-old Barclay, a promising Lore Keeper apprentice, in the middle of a class he's taking with renowned Guardian Keeper Runa Rasgar. Along with shaggy beast Root, close friend Viola Dumont, and frenemy Tadg Murdock, Barclay has traveled to the Sea, one of many Wilderlands that make up this fantasy world. This area is struggling--Beasts are increasingly posing a threat, including Lochmordra, the Legendary Beast of the Sea, who is capable of great destruction. As the Lore Keepers and Masters alike try to understand what's causing this rise in aggressive Beast behavior, Barclay's circle of friends deals with a rival group of apprentices who are seeking to prove their superiority. Barclay must come to terms with his identity as a former Elsie, or nonmagical person, while also struggling to tame his wild wind Lore. This outing is certainly engaging, expanding upon many of the same playful elements and worldbuilding of the first book, although it doesn't quite reach the same heights of joy that came with the initial discovery of the magic of Wilderlore. As before, characters have a range of skin tones in this naturally diverse world. A charming and earnest sequel that will please series fans. (bestiary) (Fantasy. 8-12)
