$17.99 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Children's Fiction | Series: Nevermoor | Reading Level: very good

A breathtaking, enchanting new series by debut author Jessica Townsend, about a cursed girl who escapes death and finds herself in a magical world-but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she is blamed for all local mis fortunes, 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 into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor. It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: 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-or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate. Perfect for fans of the Harry Potter series and Neil Gaiman, this fast-paced plot and imaginative world has a fresh new take on magic that will appeal to a new generation of readers. ...Show more

Written by Sime  'Mark Smith writes in a taut style that keeps the pages turning...Absorbing entertainment, this is what most young folk would look for in reading.' Magpies 'Issues of survival, trust and honour make this a great book for reading groups...A much anticipated sequel that reminds me of the Tomorrow When the War Beganseries.' Lamont Books 'If you love dystopian narratives with nail-biting life-and-death situations, then Mark Smith's Wilder Countryis for you. My only regret is that I have to wait until book three hits bookstore shelves.' Kids' Book Review 'Satisfying.' NZ Listener, 50 Best Books for Kids 'A page-turner told in an unaffected, Australian voice.' Joy Lawn, Australian 'A rip-roaring story--gripping and compelling, I couldn't put it down.

In the long, hot summer of 1989, Ben and Fab are best friends. Growing up in a small country town, they spend their days playing cricket, yabbying in local dams, wanting a pair of Nike Air Maxes and not talking about how Fab's dad hits him or how the sudden death of Ben's next-door neighbour unsettled h im. Almost teenagers, they already know some things are better left unsaid. Then a newcomer arrived in the Wimmera. Fab reckoned he was a secret agent and he and Ben staked him out.

Then a body is found in the river, and Fab can't ignore the past any more. WIMMERA is the 2016 Winner of the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger (UK). ...Show more
