Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow
by Jessica Townsend
An illness is turning the city's magical folk feral, and Morrigan's own rare power is the thing everyone is most afraid of.
A story about children and magical creatures, adventurous and spooky in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Mild peril
- Frightening scenes
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.
Part of a series
This is book 3 of the Nevermoor series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
