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, turning its peaceable Wunimals into mindless, vicious unnimals on the hunt. As victims of the Hollowpox multiply, panic spreads. And with the city she loves in a state of fear, Morrigan quickly realises it is up to her to find a cure for the Hollowpox, even if it will put her - and the rest of Nevermoor - in more danger than ever before . . .Praise for Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow:Winner Best Children's Fiction, Aurealis Awards 2017Winner Dymocks Book of the Year 2018Winner QBD Children's Book of the Year 2018Winner Book of the Year, Australian Book Industry Awards 2018Winner Book of the Year for Younger Children, Australian Book IndustryAwards 2018Winner The Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year, AustralianBook Industry Awards 2018Winner Book of the Year, Indie Book Awards 2018Winner Children's Category, Indie Book Awards 2018Winner Nielsen Booksellers' Choice Award, Australian Booksellers Association Awards 2018Winner Younger Fiction, Waterstones Children's Book Prize (UK) 2018Winner Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction, Cybils Award 2018Winner West Australian Young Readers' Book Award, Younger Readers, 2019Winner South Australian Premier's Award 2020Shortlisted The Readings Children's Book Prize 2018A CBCA Notable bookVoted #1 in the Dymocks Kids' Top 51'Enter the world of Nevermoor and its fantastical inhabitants, and be utterly enchanted' - Courier-Mail'Exciting, mysterious, marvellous and magical . . . quite simply one of the best children's books I've read in years.' - Robin Stevens, author of Murder Most Unladylike'Unexpected, exciting and funny.' - Judith Rossell, ABIA Award-winning author of Withering-by-Sea'It really is brilliant, with an engaging plot, plenty of twists, memorable characters and a marvellous sense of humour.
