Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow Book 1
Jessica Townsend
Enter the Wundrous world of Morrigan Crow and Nevermoor – the most fantastical children’s series of the year. 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 eleventh 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 readers into an extraordinary world, setting hope and imagination alive.
Reviews
My favourite character is Jupiter North. He is (as described in the next book) a ginger-bearded madman. As Morrigan Crow forms unlikely friendships, she has to complete a series of challenges in order to prove herself worthy to the Wondrous Society. I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy, adventure, mystery and (most of all) comedy!!!

This book is the start of an adventure full of magic, giant cats and things that make no sense. Will Morrigan Crow get admitted into the wundrous society of she doesn't even know what her knack is?

I have really enjoyed this book because it was a book that contained thriller suspense comedy and mystery .I was very shocked when mr Jones turned out to be the wundersmith I was also bursting to know what talent Morrigan but laughed when Jupiter put his head to the elders head and made morrigan’s name at the top of the board

This book was quite interesting and fun. One point you would be glued to the book, the other moment you would sitting there confused, What would happen next? Jessica Townsend really has a good imagination that brought the book to life for me. This book was awesome, I would recommend it to children aged 8 to 12. My fav character is Morrigan and Dame Chanda !
