Episode 72: Nevermoor (New Reads November)

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

Fun fact: Jessica Townsend’s Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow was the single most requested title for New Reads November 2019, and on Episode 72, Alli talks all about it with middle school ELA teacher Alex Fahey. They chat Harry Potter comparisons, world building, strong female protagonists, character development, isolation, immigration, and the appeal of power versus the appeal of community. Spoilers are minimal, so tune in for an intro to this book even if you haven’t read it yet!
