Bloomsbury presents Impossible Creatures: The Neverfear by Katherine Rundell read by Samuel West

'A world of richly-imagined wonder' Cressida Cowell

It’s the Midsummer Feast on the Islet of Glimt and on this magical moonlit evening, the word on everyone’s lips is bandits. Reports of masked men burning villages are spreading throughout the Archipelago, but worse is still to come: Christopher and Anya are ambushed and one of the people they love most is kidnapped.

The two children – alongside Ratwin the ratatoska and Jacques the Jaculus dragon – set sail on the Neverfear to recover three precious treasures. Together they must face fearsome giants, win a daring race, and outwit deadly enemies to save those they love most.

Discover the magic of Katherine Rundell in the most hotly-anticipated book of the year – the third adventure in the internationally bestselling Impossible Creatures series. Adorned with beautiful blue foil, this hardcover edition makes for a perfect gift.

Kritikerstimmen

There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell
The Neverfear... shows a writer at the height of her powers
This series is pure class
Rundell has become one of the most significant children's authors of our era.
Funny, bloody, and richly underpinned with classical mythology, Rundell’s return to the world of Glimourie is layered with powerful themes of conservation, love, sacrifice and hope for readers of 9+
A book stuffed full of fantastical, magical delight
A perfect fantasy
Dazzling ... the imaginative scope of this series remains colossal
Readers will seize this with delight
I love Katherine Rundell and everything she writes. Her books are treasure troves of glittering wisdom and breath-taking plots; her characters leap off the page, singular, passionate, and satisfyingly complex. I defy anyone to not lose their heart to her stories.
Katherine Rundell's books are an automatic purchase in my house. She is a magician, one of the great storytellers of our time
One of our Imaginers-in-chief. I am a Rundell Super-fan
Katherine Rundell's fantasies would make JRR Tolkien proud
The Neverfear continues to show readers the power of our imaginations, friendships and our own ability to rebuild when things don't go our way. Spectacular, epic and fuelled by adrenaline and revenge... a summer masterpiece.
An incredible adventure... a tense and compelling read

What an amazing third adventure this was. Katherine Rundell writes such extremely vivid characters and Samuel West brings them all to life in such an excellent way that I had to cry several times. His talent to give every character a different voice is unmatched. Book 3 picks up the story a few months after book 2. we return to Glimt and go on another adventure with Christopher and Anya as well as Ratwin, Jacques, Irian, Nighthand and Koo. What is remarkable in Rundell's book are the strong, wise, brave female characters that are equal to the male ones. And the men all show their weaknesses and don't hide them. There are honest conversations between children and adults, creatures and men. Can't wait for book 4.... 2 years of waiting!

Another amazing adventure

I loved the story and the description of the connection between human and animal. My personal highlight Was the voice actor. Such a versatile narrator and artist. Each voice fits perfectly and brings the character to life. A great pleasure to listen to!

great finale
