The Nevermoor Series is a book series written by Australian author Jessica Townsend and published by Little, Brown and Company.
The series centers around Morrigan Crow, a cursed child living in the Wintersea Republic. When it comes time for her to die on Eventide day, she is "whisked away" to the city of Nevermoor by Jupiter North, a hotel owner and member of the Wundrous Society, a prestigious group of units, each with a "knack", a small superpower that allows them to be better than average.
Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow was published by Little, Brown and Company on October 10, 2017, in Australia and October 31, 2017, in the United States, with cover art by Jim Madsen. The next book, Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow, was released on October 30 and November 13, 2018, in Australia and the U.S., respectively.[1] After a delayed late 2019, and later early 2020 release date, Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow was published on September 29, 2020, in Australia, October 15, 2020, in the United Kingdom, and October 27, 2020, in the United States.[2] All three existing books in the series have been adapted into audiobook format, read by Gemma Whelan. The fourth book, Silverborn: The Mystery of Morrigan Crow,[3] originally supposed to be released in late 2022, has been delayed multiple times, and is now scheduled for release in April 2025.[4]
The series has received rave reviews, praising the plot, character development and characterization, and themes, which include magic and humor. Kirkus Reviews said of the first installment in the series, "[it's] not genre-shattering but a solid read for genre fans."[5]
In 2017, film rights to Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow were sold to 20th Century Fox, with Drew Goddard set to produce the movie and write the screenplay.[6] The film later moved to Paramount Pictures with Michael Gracey attached to direct.[7]
