![]() Free UK p&p over £10, online orders only. To order a copy for £11.04 go to or call 03. Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend is published by Orion (£12.99). It’s very firmly the first in a series – readers finish the book with as many questions as they started – but few will be disappointed: there’s still a whole Wundrous world to discover in future books. Add to this clever plotting, irresistibly quirky humour, a truly treacherous villain, and real heart in Morrigan’s quest for courage, hope and identity. ![]() Spectacular set pieces like the Fright Trial and the Battle of Christmas Eve lend a deliciously cinematic feel to her writing. And what a world it is: from the surreal Hotel Deucalion to giant Magnifi-cats and the Tube-inspired Wunderground transport system, Townsend’s vibrant world-building is what really sets Nevermoor apart. Once the mist rises over Nevermoor’s silver gates, a Wizard of Oz-style technicolor transformation takes place. ![]() She is the bestselling author of the Nevermoor Series. She was a copywriter for eight years, and in a previous role, was the editor of a children's wildlife magazine for Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. Don’t be fooled by the gothic opening chapters. Jessica Townsend lives on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, but has lived on and off in London for a few years. ![]()
