Morrigan has always been told that every bad thing in life has been the result of her being born on the wrong day. One of the cursed children she has known that she will not make it past her eleventh birthday. Even within her own home she has not felt as if she has had a place. Until one day she is swept into a world that is unlike her own...

This storytelling brought me back to the absolute joy I felt while reading as a child. There was something so magical about Nevermoor and the world that Morrigan was brought into. Jupiter is the type of overseeing adult who makes questionable decisions but ultimately wants the best even if he might not do it in the best way. This story brought me back to feelings I had when I first read H.P.

What I absolutely adore about this story is how much growth we can see in Morrigan's life within the time frame of this story.

Please do yourself a favor and listen or read this book.

[reread 2020] I continue to absolutely love this book and how it feels like a warm hug. Lots of Morrigan's negative self talk is so true to how I talk to myself as an adult. I know I comped this for HP previously and still holds true but the immediate adults in Morrigan's life and found family seem to actually do a lot more for her than HPs did for him?
