I just finished reading “Foundling” by D.M. Cornish, a young adult fiction work that is the first book in a series subtitled “Monster Blood Tattoo”. This delightful book is about a young orphan boy with the curious name of “Rossamund Bookchild” who becomes an apprentice monster hunter. As Rossamund begins his journey to take up his new post as lamplighter, he runs into all kinds of mischief and ultimately reaches his destination, but only after making the acquaintance of a beautiful and mysterious monster hunter – thus the apprentice part. I can’t wait to order the second book in this series…
