What the critics say

Praise for Wundersmith
*"Townsend's sophomore endeavor once again fully immerses her readers in a world that intermixes the magic of the Emerald City with Howl's pithiness, Percy Jackson's humor, Coraline's darkness, and perhaps a dash of the depravity of Katniss' District One. Fantasy fans will not be disappointed."—Kirkus, starred Review
"Readers delighted by Nevermoor's zany absurdities and enchanting incongruities will welcome further peeks into this magical world...the high-stakes action will keep fans on the edge of their seats..."—Horn Book
"An absolutely delightful fantasy novel....[A] spiritual hybrid of Doctor Who and Harry Potter."—Barnes & Noble Kids Blog
"Townsend's skillful, suspense-filled storytelling in "Wundersmith" will keep readers entertained, as Morrigan and her eccentric classmates face a test of loyalty and bravery in what will surely be the first of many to come."—The New York Times Book Review
"Jessica Townsend lives up to the promise of her marvelous debut in this second book set in the brilliantly imagined fantasy world of Nevermoor.... Morrigan is a marvelous heroine - smart, loyal, brave, conflicted, struggling to do the right thing in a world where it's not always clear what the right thing might be. Readers will savor this latest adventure and look forward to the next one."—The Buffalo News
"Townsend offers a detailed and broadly envisioned alternate world, scenes of action and suspense, and a wide array of colorful characters; but the spotlight shines on Morrigan as she struggles with her emotions and her elusive powers."—Booklist

I want to start by saying that I am 25 years old and I love these books. They are not just for young adults. I was sceptical at first about this series while reading Nevermoor as I found the book to have too many similarities to Harry Potter. Wundersmith exceeded my expectations and I actually thought it was amazing. Townsend expands on the world and the characters in Wundersmith in a way that expands the story and takes it in a completely different direction then I was expecting. By the end of this book, I actually found that my initial criticism of the series being too similar to Harry Potter was not a fair judgement. Although I liked the first book Nevermoor I found it to be a lot of info-dumping, world-building and I did find it similar to Harry Potter. However, Wundersmith takes the series in a completely different direction that is extremely refreshing, exciting and fun. It was a fun, magical, quick and exciting read. I found it to be fast-paced and I never wanted to put it down. I actually finished it in one sitting! The performance was amazing! Whelan is a phenomenal narrator and really captivates her audience. Overall, I would rate this book a 5 out 5-star. This series has great potential and I will continue to read the next books and I can't wait for the third book to come out. Definitely, give this series a try! I'm predicting that every book in this series will just get better and better!

Better then the first book!

My kids cannot wait for the next book to come out! I’ve been reading aloud to them since they were babes and now we listen to audio books at bedtime. They were enthralled with this unique fantasy story. The voice artist is simply fantastic with her knowledge of accents and she keeps you in the grips of the story!

My tweens loved it.
