Why we chose it
Really enjoyable narrative and storytelling. The plot is well thought and imaginative. The characters are believable, and you can easily sympathize with them although it is set in an imaginary/ fantasy world.

I loved this as adventure and magic came together throughout every single page of the book! In this book, Morrigan Crow is fated to die when she turns 12, but on the strike of midnight she is taken to the world of Nevermoor. There, to not die she must pass 3 trials. As well as that, she makes new friends and enemies and joins the Magic School! I found this book thrilling, I loved it! I would recommend it to people who like Harry Potter and books about magic.
This book is AMAZING! Honestly, it pulls you into a world where anything and everything is possible. Want to travel through time itself? Want to take the umbrella instead of the tube? Read the Nevermoor series and you will. Age 9+ and awesome. A book that transports you to another world.
