Winner of the Scottish Teenage Book Prize Nominated for the Carnegie Medal Thousands of years ago, the Evernight came to the Silver Kingdom and turned everything to darkness and chaos. It was only defeated thanks to the skill and bravery of the Witches. But now the Evernight is about to return, released by the evil Mrs Hester, and the only spell that might stop it is lost, deep below the great city of King's Haven. Then orphan Larabelle Fox stumbles across a mysterious wooden box while treasure-hunting in the city's sewers. Little does she realise she is about to be catapulted into an adventure, facing wild magic and mortal danger – and a man who casts no shadow . . .
Reviews
What struck me about this novel was how well plotted it is. The writer creates a dark world where children search the sewers for treasures. There’s magic, oppression and a brilliantly constructed climactic moment.

I really enjoyed this book. There was lots of mystery around elements of the story and it was full of magic and adventure. From the beginning of the book, the reader is introduced to a large range of fantastic, stand-out characters, led by the orphaned heroine Lara. I would definitely recommend it to pupils in Y5 and 6 as they will really enjoy it.

I adored this book, in fact I wanted to bathe in the language used to create such a rich world. I invested in the characters and I felt a real connection to the sense of dark being foreboding and the feel of those in power abandoning those in need. The thread of magic added a richness. I have recommended this far and wide!

Brilliant book and great story. This book is full of intrigue and magic. A great read and explores friendships and choices. My favourite character I think is Joe. He is a steadfast friend and brave. Definitely worth a read!
