Strange things are happening Nevermoor...
Morrigan Crow faces her most dangerous challenge yet in her latest Wundrous adventure. The highly anticipated third book in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Nevermoor series from one of Australia's bestselling and most loved authors.

Morrigan Crow and her friends have survived their first year as proud scholars of the elite Wundrous Society, helped bring down the nefarious Ghastly Market, and proven themselves loyal to Unit 919. Now Morrigan faces a new, exciting challenge: to master the mysterious Wretched Arts of the Accomplished Wundersmith, and control the power that threatens to consume her.

But a strange illness has taken hold of Nevermoor's magical Wunimals, turning them into mindless, vicious unnimals on the hunt. With the city she loves in a state of fear, Morrigan quickly realises it's up to her to find a cure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

the joy in Hollowpox springs from the imagination and generosity of the author's detailed fabrications . . . Twisting, ingenious strands and subplots form narrative arcs that sustain interest and build to a thrilling climax.

Townsend's world is both whimsical and familiar, her characters magical but relatable, and it's all cut through with a wickedly infectious sense of humour. Inventive, thoughtful, and an outrageous amount of fun

There is more extraordinary world-building, as well as tough ethical decisions, in Wundersmith, Jessica Townsend's superlative follow-up to the unmissable Nevermoor.

Big on imagination

An amazingly detailed and fascinating fantasy world . . . Wundersmith will keep 8+ readers on the edge of their seat

An exciting and charming middle-grade read that will hook readers aged 10 and up with intricate imaginative detail and its sheer energy ... a compulsively readable romp that fans of ... Terry Pratchett or Studio Ghibli will gobble up.

Enter the world of Nevermoor and its fantastical inhabitants, and be utterly enchanted.

A powerful storyline full of plots, and twists and turns where nothing is predictable . . . There's no way readers will put this down before it is finished.

The Trials of Morrigan Crow throws the reader headfirst into the quirky, "like-nowhere-you've-ever-been-before" world of Nevermoor.

A cracking fantasy about a girl who escapes death, only to find herself in a strange land, competing for a chance to join the mysterious Wunderous Society. Polished and inventive, this debut author has created a rich and peculiar world that will appear to readers across ages.

Fearsome, funny and original, it's requisite reading for fantasy lovers of all ages.

Best Children’s Story I’ve Ever Read.

The detail? superb. The characters? Hilarious. The story? Perfect. Jessica Townsend is a genius for making this amazing story about one little girl with one big power.
