Like Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and Doctor Who swirled up together.' - Judith Rossell, ABIA Award-winning author of Withering-by-Sea'It really is brilliant, with an engaging plot, plenty of twists, memorable characters and a marvellous sense of humour. Pick it up and the hours disappear, just like magic.' - Daily Telegraph"The long wait is over, Hollowpox is finally here! I loved returning to the enchanting world of Nevermoor, and to the lively and beloved cast of characters that I have missed so dearly. Featuring some coincidental parallels with life in 2020, Hollowpox is jam-packed with so many twists and turns that you’ll find it difficult not to read the book in one sitting. I just love how rich, vibrant and imaginative these stories are. Most importantly, I love how fun they are, and they evoke pleasant memories of reading as a kid. With each new release in this series, Jessica Townsend further proves that she is a force to be reckoned with." Edyta, Dymocks Project Manager
