This middle-grade book starts in a very dark place when we meet Morrigan Crow, a young girl destined to die on her 11th birthday. But just before the bell tolls, she is whisked off to Nevermoor where a series of trials await her. She must prove she has a right to be admitted to the elite Wundrous Society, but how can she show a talent she doesn't know she possesses? 
This was a fun adventure, fast-paced and heart-warming. It was a little bit too much for me, but I would heartily recommend it for imaginative readers of all ages.
