"Hassan’s duology opener is a classic quest story that lies on the border between horror and the fantastic... An enjoyably strange and wildly inventive journey into the unknown."—Kirkus (starred review) — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Deliciously dark and atmospheric, Nox Winter and the Midnight Wolf is an adventure into the stuff of dreams and nightmares. Nox is an improbable hero who risks everything to save his brother from being claimed by the magic of the Nightwoods. Fans of The Spiderwick Chronicles will enjoy this tale of sibling bonds, family secrets, and bravery in the face of impossible odds. Nox is a spine-tingling journey that kids won’t want to put down! —Lisa Stringfellow, Bram Stoker-nominated author of A Comb of Wishes — Lisa Stringfellow, Bram Stoker-nominated author of A Comb of Wishes
"Calling all lovers of the creepy, mysterious, wondrous, and weird—the Night Forest is everything you could ever want, and Nox Winters is here to be your guide. He might try to fight you first, but don't let that stop you. No one does spooky magical forests quite like Rochelle Hassan! Nox Winters and the Midnight Wolf is the perfect next step for Riordan fans, brimming with magic, mythology, and fierce characters. Don't miss it!" — M. K. England, author of the Player vs. Player trilogy
“An immersive monster-filled middle grade fantasy sure to enchant readers of all ages.” — Katie Zhao, author of THE DRAGON WARRIOR and WINNIE ZENG series
In Nox Winters and the Midnight Wolf, Rochelle Hassan has given readers both a fast-paced, action-filled adventure and an elegantly drawn fantasy world full of authentic relationships and emotion. Nox is angry, scared, brave, determined, and loyal—he is wonderfully imperfect and so, so relatable. I couldn’t put this one down and hope we get more tales out of the Nightwood in the future. Watch for Nox Winters and the Midnight Wolf on awards lists but in the meantime make sure it finds its way to your bookshelf. — Lora Senf, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Clackity
"In this creepy duology opener, Hassan (The Summer Queen) unspools a spine-tingling tale packed with riddles, magic, and mystery in which the brothers’ fierce bond grounds the more fantastical elements of the Nightwood’s original and evocative mythology." — Publishers Weekly
