Audio edition brilliantly brought to life by Game of Thrones star Gemma Whelan

Winner of the Dymocks and QDB Children's Book of the Year 2018 and a New York Times bestseller, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow is the first in an enchanting series for fantasy fans of all ages.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Born on an unlucky day, she is 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 Eventide.

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 there 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. Except for Morrigan, who doesn't seem to have any special talent at all.

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 to confront her deadly fate.

Reseñas de la crítica

The Trials Of Morrigan Crow throws the reader headfirst into the quirky, "like-nowhere-you've-ever-been-before" world of Nevermoor.
This is 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 Wundrous Society. Polished and inventive, this debut author has created a rich and peculiar world that will appeal to readers across ages.
Yet another Aussie fantasy star arrives, with Jessica Townsend's beautifully crafted debut novel. Children will love Nevermoor - but so will most other fantasy fans. The story of Morrigan Crow is funny, clever and intriguing all at once...It really is brilliant, with an engaging plot, plenty of twists, memorable characters and a marvellous sense of humour. Pick it up and the hours disappear, just like magic.
I loved the storyline and how suspenseful each page was, and I loved reading about the exhilarating events that Morrigan experienced, and meeting strange new characters.

Anyone who loves Harry Potter will like Nevermoor. They both share magic, trials and suspense.
Fearsome and funny and original, it's requisite reading for fantasy lovers of all ages.
Unexpected, exciting and funny. Like Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and Doctor Who swirled up together. I loved Morrigan Crow, and I want to check in at the Hotel Deucalion.
Exciting, mysterious, marvellous and magical . . . quite simply one of the best children's books I've read in years.
Townsend keeps the reader guessing with some wonderfully crafted twists and turns. She also brings to the page a memorable young heroine who is sure to be a hit with boys and girls alike
Townsend's intensely cinematic writing, quirky humour and superior world-building conjure a genuinely fresh take on magical fantasy.
Nevermoor is brimming over with imagination and fun . . . A wonderfully assured debut from a young Australian author, Nevermoor sparkles with zest, wit and inventiveness.
...a compulsively readable romp that fans of 'Harry Potter', Terry Pratchett or Studio Ghibli will gobble up.
Some important themes underpin this vibrant, magical adventure.
An extraordinary story full of magics great and small, from the Hotel Deucalion to the Magnificat... Townsend has created a book of wunders. In Morrigan Crow I've found a heroine I'm willing to step boldly after, and follow her wherever her adventure takes her next.
Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow is more than just a spectacular debut. Exciting, charming, and wonderfully imagined, it's the sort of delightful grand adventure destined to be many a reader's favorite book.
I am impressed by Jessica Townsend's success with her debut novel
A world full of amazing surprises and an exhilarating plot.
