Nevermoor Book Report

Nevermoor

The Trial’s of Morrigan Crow, by Jessica Townsend.

This story is about a girl called Morrigan Crow.
Morrigan Crow is going to die on Eventide. She is blamed for all of the towns
misfortunes like heart attacks, injuries and damaged property. She is listed in the
Cursed Child Register.

Until Jupiter North offers her a place in the Wundrous Society, she knows her fate is
coming. If Morrigan is not granted a place in the society she will have to go back
home to Barclaytown. She has to pass four difficult tests to get in to the top nine.
There is the book trial, the chase trial, the fright trial and finally the show trial.
In the book trial Morrigan has to answer questions the book asks of her.
In the fright trial she has to follow the candles.
There are different paths of candles to follow. She has to follow the path that she thinks is right.
The fright trail is in the cemetery. In the chase trial Morrigan has to go in a
group of five and hit one of the different coloured rings with her hand.
The rings on the outer edge are more frequent than the rings in the center.
In the middle there are four golden rings that will secure her place in the show
trial and also get to have a feast with the Elder's. In the show trial she has to show
off her strange skill.  The Elder's give the competitors a score and put them on the
leaderboard if they have the top nine scores. After the fourth trial she meets Ezra
Squall the Wundersmith. He takes her to Crow Manor and shows her how to be a
Wundersmith like himself.

I would recommend this book to people who like Fantasy or Adventure stories.
