A magical adventure rooted in Muslim culture and tradition, Nura and the Immortal Palace follows a young girl’s journey from modern-day Pakistan into the world of the jinn.
Nura has worked all her life in the mica mines, earning just enough to keep her family afloat – and enjoy the odd delicious gulab jamun from the market. Some day she’s going to find the Demon’s Tongue, a legendary treasure buried deep in the mines, and her family will never have to worry about money again.
But when a terrible accident buries her best friend below ground, Nura goes in search of him and passes over into the magical and terrible world of the jinn. Across a pink sea and under a purple sky, she finds her way to a palace, where great riches and a whole new life are on offer.
But it’s not long before Nura discovers this world to be as unfair as the real one, and that trickster jinns will always live up to their reputation…

This was an interesting book and different from what I would normally read. The story plot was good, set in an interesting culture.

My favourite character was Nura because she was very brave and courageous and she was also very smart. I don't think that Faisal should have as nervous as he was I also think that there was too much detail.

I really enjoyed this book. You could really feel the emotions of the characters. My favourite character was probably Nura as she was very determined, fearless and strong. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 9. This book also totally deserves all the awards it’s been given e.g the Waterstones children book prize 2023.

My favourite character is Nura because she is determined to save her friends from the jinn. I think this book is the genre fantasy adventure. It interested me because it was fun and had a lot of sudden plot twists. I would recommend this book to ages 7+ because it has mild violence in it.

Nura is a feisty character who comes to recognise the connection between greed and exploitation..

I enjoyed this book because it was full of excitement and adventure. My favourite character is Faisal because he is not afraid to share his opinion on things that are not right.

It was descriptive and made you feel like you were in the place that the writer was describing.
