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]

“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….

I don’t have a favorite dystopian middle grade series, but my adult niece is a fan of the City of Ember series, and she is often my guide in these things. 🙂
My kids like the first two books in that series but not the rest of the series.
