Title: Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow
Author: Jessica Townsend
Pages: 480
Finished: January 11, 2018
First Sentence: The journalists arrived before the coffin did.
Summary: Born on Eventide eleven years ago, Morrigan Crow, along with all other Eventide born children, is cursed to die at midnight on the next Eventide. As her death nears, an eccentric named Jupiter Crow appears and offers her an escape. A way to bypass death and continue life with plenty of opportunities. An opportunity Morrigan takes.
Thoughts: Very Harry Potter. Also, it felt very steampunk even though it's not really. Great piece of middle grade fiction. I'm interested in reading the rest of the series when they come up. Glad to have another recommendation in my back pocket for our voracious 5th and 6th grade fantasy readers.
