Publisher Description
Strange things are happening Nevermoor...
Morrigan Crow faces her most dangerous challenge yet in her latest Wundrous adventure. The highly anticipated third book in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Nevermoor series from one of Australia's bestselling and most loved authors.
Morrigan Crow and her friends have survived their first year as proud scholars of the elite Wundrous Society, helped bring down the nefarious Ghastly Market, and proven themselves loyal to Unit 919. Now Morrigan faces a new, exciting challenge: to master the mysterious Wretched Arts of the Accomplished Wundersmith, and control the power that threatens to consume her.
But a strange illness has taken hold of Nevermoor's magical Wunimals, turning them into mindless, vicious unnimals on the hunt. With the city she loves in a state of fear, Morrigan quickly realises it's up to her to find a cure.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Science and magic unite in the vibrant third entry of the Nevermoor series (soon to be adapted for film). When a fast-spreading illness begins turning Nevermoor’s magical creatures into mindless beasts, young Wundrous Society student Morrigan Crow leads the quest for a cure—even while struggling to control her own burgeoning powers. Like the earlier books, Hollowpox is read by Game of Thrones actress Gemma Whelan, who brings Australian author Jessica Townsend’s colourful fantasy to life, and highlights the true-to-life characters we cherish alongside the author’s bright imaginings. An adventure well worth sharing with the whole family, especially Harry Potter fans, this is a tender tale about how extreme situations often expose our true colours.
