Summary

Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2018 Younger Fiction Category

Enter the Wundrous world of Morrigan Crow and Nevermoor.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her 11th birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organisation: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have.

To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city and confront her deadly fate once and for all. Perfect for fans of the Harry Potter series and His Dark Materials, this series takes listeners into an extraordinary world, setting hope and imagination alive.

Enjoyable!

I truly enjoyed this. Can't wait to start book 2. Well written and well narrated.
I know people say this all the time, but If you love Harry Potter, chances are you will fall in love with these books too. With Nevermoor it is true.

Nevermoor

Nevermoor is a really wonderful book 📚 I loved every second of it. The way each word creates a spark of curiosity and wonder who what where?Would the character would go or feel!! I highly recommended this book to those who like fantasy and so much more.

What an adventure!

My grandchildren would love this book. The storyline, the characters and the fantasy element are fantastic. The narrator was wonderful, and made it all come alive.

outstanding!!!!!!

it was something,that's for sure ! I am a huge fan of Harry potter and I thought nothing could be as good as it , but (dare I say it) I THINK IT IS BETTER THAN HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!! I think it would be good for nine to ten year olds with a love for mystery and magic ,the narrator is amazing the voices are so perfect and I think it really brings the story to life ! So give it a go , even if you're sceptical at first ,because I think you'll find you love it ! ( also look out for the next three books they are amazing!!) from lily age ten

Wow a promising start to an interesting new series.

Wow what a beginning to this wonderful series. So much of the world is still unknown which i like. This is a really good tactic as it makes the reader want to continue reading the rest of the series, so many questions are still left un answered such as what Wunimals are etc. i am really excited to read more of this series. Morigan is clearly a very unknown character and does not know her gift which again i really like. Reminds me of Harry potter a child growing up with a talent but knowing nothing. Again like Harry Potter there are similar links to a dark character creating a certain amount of mistrust. I love the character building in this series and we are getting to know the world gradually over time. I can see why people are comparing this to such a classic series as Harry potter etc. the world building is unique and all the characters are very different. I love the audio book, the narrator gives each character there own voice and personality. I can’t wait to explore this wonderful world more in future books.

A great book, will she be the next JKR?

My children and I loved this story. We were gripped from the start, what I liked was that this was not just another book about magic, it was quite unique. Harry Potter and Chrestomanci fans will no doubt love it though. My seven year old daughter in particular was very sad when it was over. The only thing I would say is that I felt like I was 'left wanting' at the end. Of course, it set itself up for the next book, but I would have liked a bit more of it in this one! The narration was truly marvellous, I could not have asked for more. I particularly liked Jupiter North's voice. Download it now!
