Magical schools, hidden societies and an outsider heroine give Jessica Townsend’s middle-grade fantasy its main shape. Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow introduces Morrigan, a cursed girl rescued from an expected death and taken to the city of Nevermoor, where she must pass a series of trials to join the Wundrous Society. Wundersmith deepens the world through a school for magical abilities and the dangerous history of Morrigan’s own power, while Hollowpox turns a strange illness affecting Wunimals into a city-wide crisis. The series is funny, fast and highly imaginative, with eccentric teachers, talking or human-like animals, hotels, competitions and mysteries supporting the central coming-of-age story. Townsend fits middle-grade fantasy, magical-school fiction and adventurous series reading for readers of J. K. Rowling, Jonathan Stroud and Cressida Cowell. Read more Less
