Townsend's debut fully lives up to its hype
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
The plot is fast-paced, there is a pleasing mix of menace and humour and Morrigan is an appealing, compelling hero, always ready to 'step boldly' into the dangerous and enticing world of Nevermoor.
Utterly mesmerising from start to finish, Nevermoor is a masterful piece of storytelling, full of wonderful characters and world so rich in magical detail you'll think you've actually stepped into it.
Winner of the Waterstones Children's Books Prize, Younger Fiction Category. Shortlisted for the IBW Book Award, Children's Fiction.

I was gripped reading this fantastic, magical adventure.
Magical 'middle-grade' fiction became the hot ticket, in adventures like Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor
Charming, magical and the perfect book to lose yourself in during the Christmas break...
Exciting, mysterious, marvellous and magical . . . quite simply one of the best children's books I've read in years
Jessica Townsend's writing is very satisfying and her pen masterfully creates a magical world which is mostly unique. A demanding, but satisfying, read, but readers will be readers will be rewarded with an absorbing story, with pace, plot and character aplenty.
Townsend's intensely cinematic writing, quirky humour and superior world-building conjure a genuinely fresh take on magical fantasy
A wonderful, warm-hearted magical adventure [that] will instantly draw you in
The subject of a heated publishers' auction, Townsend's debut fully lives up to the hype
