Nevermoor Giveaway

Nevermoor Prize Pack GIVEAWAY!

Posted on December 8, 2017April 22, 2024 by Pragmatic Mom

Disney-Hyperion sent me a copy to check out, and is partnering with me for a giveaway!

I’m giving away a prize pack in celebration of Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend. This book reminds me of The Hunger Games meets The Unwanteds.

Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, 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 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. [chapter book, ages 9 and up]

Nevermoor Prize Pack GIVEAWAY!

To enter, please fill out the Rafflecopter below. I can only ship to U.S. addresses due to the high cost of shipping.

  • copy of Nevermoor
  • branded lapel pin
  • branded Hotel Deucalion pen and notebook
  • $50 Amex gift card to have a wondrous holiday season

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Jessica Townsend lives on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, but has lived on and off in London for a few years. 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. Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow is her first novel.

    “What are your favorite dystopian middle grade books?” I’m not sure i’ve ready any outright dystopian youth books, but I know the books I’ve read often have a quest and some sort of maguffin….

    My girls haven’t read much dystopia fiction but I’m eager to read some together. Based on their reading interests, it seems like the perfect genre to explore as they’re getting older.
