Enter the Wundrous world of Morrigan Crow and Nevermoor - the most fantastical children's debut of the year. A perfect gift for all adventurous young readers.
Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day of the year, she's 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 her eleventh birthday.
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 to the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.
It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter wants 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 - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - otherwise she'll have to leave and confront her deadly fate once and for all.
Perfect for fans of the Harry Potter series and His Dark Materials, this series takes readers into an extraordinary world, setting hope and imagination alive.

How far would you go to save your best friend? TO BE BORN OF THE
FOREST IS A GIFT AND A CURSE. Rora is a shifter, as magical as all
those born in the wilderness - and as feared. She uses her
abilities to spy for the king, traveling under different guises and
listening for signs of trouble. When a magical illness surfaces
across the kingdom, Rora uncovers a devastating truth: Finley, the
young prince and her best friend, has caught it. His only hope is
stardust, the rarest of magical elements, found deep in the
wilderness where Rora grew up - and to which she swore never to
return. But for her only friend, Rora will face her past and brave
the dark, magical wood, journeying with her brother and the
obstinate, older prince who insists on coming. Together, they must
survive sentient forests and creatures unknown, battling an ever
changing landscape while escaping human pursuers who want them
dead. With illness gripping the kingdom and war on the horizon,
Finley's is not the only life that hangs in the balance.
