Details:

Title: Wundersmith - The Calling of Morrigan Crow
Author: Jessica Townsend
Publisher: Orion Children's Books
ISBN 13: 978-1510104440

Synopsis:


Imagination, discovery and friendship await Morrigan Crow when she escapes her deadly curse and joins the Wundrous Society. It promises her protection and belonging for life - but then Morrigan doesn't receive the welcome she hoped for...
Morrigan is a much-feared Wundersmith. So, instead of the Society helping Morrigan to embrace her power, she is only taught that all Wundersmiths are evil and she must suppress her mysterious ability at all costs.
To make things worse, Nevermoor is quickly turning from a place of safety into one of danger. Society members are going missing, someone is blackmailing Morrigan's new friends, turning them against her. And Ezra Squall, the evillest man who ever lived, is determined to lure Morrigan from the Society by promising to reveal the true nature of the Wunder that calls to her, which is becoming ever harder to resist...
Has Morrigan's dream of escaping her cursed life ended before it truly began?
Review:
This is shaping up to be one of the best children's series I've read in a long time. I love Morrigan and the whole cast of interesting characters. This second book follows Morrigan as she joins the Wundrous Society. One thing I really like about Morrigan is that she never gives up, even when everybody is telling her she's a monster and when she doubts herself she still doesn't give up. Her relationship with Jupiter is really nice even if Jupiter himself is frustrating at times. I also really like Hawthorne and Cadence and am looking forward to getting to know more about the others in Morrigan's class in the next book.

I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
