|summary=In the mysterious underground world of Caverna, skilled craftsmen create wondrous delicacies. But the people themselves are the greatest curiosity of all, because they are unable to show any natural expression whatsoever on their faces. Until, that is, the day when Neverfell arrives.
}}
The reader will be with Neverfell all the way as she learns about her new home and battles for survival and justice. She is a really likeable character, loyal to her friends, and stubbornly intent on improving life for everyone around her. This is the kind of book which makes you slow down as you reach the final pages because you don't want it to end, and which will provide thoughtful readers with much to ponder and discuss.
Anything Frances Hardinge writes is worth reading. Try [[Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge|Fly By Night]] and the sequel [[Twilight Robbery by Frances Hardinge|Twilight Robbery]] about a resourceful young girl called Mosca, set in another truly extraordinary world. You might also appreciate [[Twister by Juliette Forrest]]. We can also recommend [[The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M Valente]].
