Book Synopsis

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow meets Guardians of the Galaxy in this thrilling middle grade alien adventure about a boy who sneaks onto a spaceship to help his sister compete in a series of intergalactic trials that will determine Earth's fate.

Earth has never been in more trouble. The Galactic Syndicate is unhappy with the danger humans pose to the rest of the galaxy and is planning to annex Earth and eradicated its human inhabitants...unless humans can redeem themselves. In the Terra Trials, fifteen of Earth's smartest and bravest children from across the world must compete in humanity's last chance to save itself.

Enter Kola Adesola. Kola is not chosen as a Terra Champion...but his sister is. And if there's one thing Kola's going to do, it's protect his sister. After stowing away on the transporter that takes his sister to the mother ship, Kola gets a whole lot more than he bargained for and must enter the competition himself.

But all is not as it seems aboard the ship. Strange things keep happening and their alien hosts seem more invested in stoking the friction between the champions than helping them succeed. Kola must rely on his relationships and his determination to uncover the truth, making him question whether the Terra Trials are just a front for something bigger...
