Hither & Nigh

De: Ellen Potter

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

Magic and mystery abound when a young girl discovers a secret, parallel New York City that may help her find her missing brother in this middle grade fantasy adventure that’s a “thrilling page-turner” (Kirkus Reviews) for fans of Thirteen Witches and James Riley.

Could lessons in magic make everything right again?

Nell Batista has been in trouble one too many times. Now she’s down to her last chance—literally. Join the Last Chance Club or be expelled from school. The kids in the club are an odd group, but when their teacher starts giving lessons in magic, things quickly go completely off the weird scale. Nell doesn’t believe in it at first; after all, she’s a smart city kid, and there has been nothing magical in her life since her brother, River, disappeared three years ago.

But this magic is real—and powerful. As their skills grow, Nell and her new friends discover a parallel New York City called the Nigh. It’s a place as delightful as it is scary, sizzling with magical energy, where statues can talk, magicians ride on giant dogs, and monsters roam Central Park. And it is all controlled by the terrifying Minister, who might hold the key to finding Nell’s missing brother. Just how far will Nell go to find him, and who can she trust in a world topsy turvy with enchantment?

Amazing middle grade fantasy novel

I have loved reading middle grade fantasy novels and Hither And Nigh is the most creative story and a mysterious adventure that I ever embarked on. And I really recommend a lot of readers to read Ellen Potter's books. She is an awesome writer. And I really love Caitlin Kelly. She has a beautiful voice to narrate this book. I have loved her reading the series of Shannon Messenger's Keeper Of The Lost Cities. Reading books has been a huge passion of mine and I just haven't stopped being a bookworm like Belle in the Beauty And The Beast. And I have dreamed of being a middle grade fantasy writer and a creative fiction author as well. Hope Ellen Potter could be my creative fiction teacher as well. And I hope that the second book Hither And Nigh: The Golden Imaginaurium will be in the Audible someday.
