Critics Review
Praise for the Nevermoor series
‘Enter the world of Nevermoor and it’s fantastical inhabitants, and be utterly echanted.’ - Courier-Mail
‘There is more extraordinary world-building, as well as tough ethical decisions, in Wundersmith, Jessica Townsend’s superlative follow-up to the unmissable Nevermoor.’ - The Guardian
‘Inventive, thoughtful, and an outrageous amount of fun, Townsend is now two for two in the Nevermoor series, and there’s likely to be thousands of children (and, okay, a lot of adults too) dying to see what Morrigan Crow gets up to next’ - The Au Review
‘Unexpected, exciting and funny. Like Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and Doctor Who swirled up together.’ - Judith Rossell, ABIA Award-winning author of Withering-by-Sea
‘Exciting, charming, and wonderfully imagined, it’s the sort of delightful, grand adventure destined to be many a reader’s favourite book.’ - Trenton Lee Stewart, New York Times bestselling author of The Mysterious Benedict Societyseries and The Secret Keepers
‘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.’ - Daily Telegraph
‘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 ‘Harry Potter’, Terry Pratchett or Studio Ghibli will gobble up.’ - Books and Publishing
