Top 5 Fantasy Middle-Grade Series That You Can Read At Any Age
When You Lose Touch With Your Inner Child. Sometimes we forget the joy that children’s books were able to give us when we were children and neglect the fact that these books can still provide us with so much joy! Middle-grade represents a fantastic opportunity, no matter what your age, to reconnect with your inner child and lose yourself in an enjoyable read. Something that doesn’t require hours upon hours of concentration and dedication but lets you fall into the world and enjoy it for what it is. This is why I decided to create my top five fantasy middle-grade books which you can read at any age at all! When picking these books, I based my choices on both old and recent releases, which I have read myself in the past six months and loved! Being able to fall into a world so quickly is part of the reason why I love fantasy in middle-grade novels and the societies which have been created by these authors. Nevermoor : The Trials of Morrigan Crow By Jessica Townsend Released in 2017, Nevermoor : The Trials of Morrigan Crow is the first in the series by Jessica Townsend and follows a young girl called Morrigan Crow. Unsurprisingly, there is something special about Morrigan Crow that certainly makes her different to all those around her, and that is because she is a cursed child, who on her 11th birthday shall die. As Morrigan is cursed, it means all within her town blame her for anything that goes wrong in their lives and as a result she spends most of her time writing letters of apology to them all - which is as unfair as it sounds. However, on the eve before her 11th birthday as Morrigan awaits her fate, she is seemingly rescued by the eccentric Jupiter North who takes her into his custody and brings her into the world of Nevermoor to be a candidate for the Wonderous society. A society whose members all have a knack from being great dragon riders to being completely forgotten and even those who can tell what your thinking from your mood. Nevermoor is not like any other world, with amass of inhabitants from talking cats to an angel like beings, Jupiter brings Morrigan into a world she can call home. Only there is one problem, to remain she must get into the Wondrous Society and to get into the society, she must have a knack. The world that Jessica Townsend has created can only be described as wondrous, it feels like something that should belong in the Studio Ghibli movies and a place of excitement and wonder. From reading Nevermoor I was completely entrapped in the world and when I finished was devastated to find I had to wait almost a year until it’s sequel.
