Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Wundersmith
*"Townsend's sophomore endeavor once again fully immerses her readers in a world that intermixes the magic of the Emerald City with Howl's pithiness, Percy Jackson's humor, Coraline's darkness, and perhaps a dash of the depravity of Katniss' District One. Fantasy fans will not be disappointed."—Kirkus, starred Review

"Readers delighted by Nevermoor's zany absurdities and enchanting incongruities will welcome further peeks into this magical world...the high-stakes action will keep fans on the edge of their seats..."—Horn Book

"An absolutely delightful fantasy novel....[A] spiritual hybrid of Doctor Who and Harry Potter."—Barnes & Noble Kids Blog

"Townsend's skillful, suspense-filled storytelling in "Wundersmith" will keep readers entertained, as Morrigan and her eccentric classmates face a test of loyalty and bravery in what will surely be the first of many to come."—The New York Times Book Review

"Jessica Townsend lives up to the promise of her marvelous debut in this second book set in the brilliantly imagined fantasy world of Nevermoor.... Morrigan is a marvelous heroine - smart, loyal, brave, conflicted, struggling to do the right thing in a world where it's not always clear what the right thing might be. Readers will savor this latest adventure and look forward to the next one."—The Buffalo News

"Townsend offers a detailed and broadly envisioned alternate world, scenes of action and suspense, and a wide array of colorful characters; but the spotlight shines on Morrigan as she struggles with her emotions and her elusive powers."—Booklist

Excellent youth fantasy

I am pre-reading books for my kids. I do think the book is a little dark but enjoyably whim-some.

I'm immediately buying the next!

My only sadness is that after this next book, I'll be waiting for more!
This narrator is AMAZING and I want to thank her for making this wonderful story truly fabulous 👌 🥰

So good.

I really am invested in this story with it’s well-written characters. Please read it!

Fun read, excellent reader, too much like Potter

The reader is excellent and the voices really make the story come alive. I will recommend it to my middle school students as it’s pretty well written and a fun story with lots of interesting characters and action. The parallels with HP are obvious and disappointing. But decent series otherwise.

A great bonding experience

I have two girls ages 8 and 10. We've been listening to this everytime we hopped in the car for a trip. It was so nice having a peaceful car, all of us hanging on every word, wondering what would happen next. Then, when we reached our destination, we enjoyed reviewing what we'd heard. The three of us have definitely bonded more over our love of this book. We went through Nevermoor 1st of course, and are eager for Hollowpox to arrive.

Wonderful Story

I very much enjoyed this book. Great story, great characters. Everything a book should be.

Such fun!

Such an incredible story!!! This is one of the most unique and entertaining books I've encountered in a while. Definitely worth the read, no matter what age.

Most excellent!!!

I love the story and Gemma Whelan is amazing in her narration! I listen to this book often.

Incredible!

Absolutely love this book! I really hope this becomes a long series because I look forward to seeing all the characters and relationships grow. Also, the book feature children but I would think the content is just enough to be considered YA. It has the beginnings of some darker elements but explained in an innocent way. LOVE IT!

Filled with surprises!

Delightful story (despite the few Harry Potter references)! She has plenty of original ideas though! And I love the use of music. Normally I reject any book with music but here it’s tastefully done, like having John Williams write the music for a movie. Gemma Whelan narrates beautifully except when doing an evil voice. I wish they’d brought on a male narrator for the antagonist. Looking forward to the next book!
