Katherine Rundell’s all-ages fantasy series Impossible Creatures gets a third book on September 1, 2026, when The Neverfear arrives. The project was originally planned as a trilogy, but it has since expanded into a five-book series after the first two books reportedly sold more than one million copies across 37 territories.
For readers, that means a fresh Christopher and Mal adventure set in Rundell’s hidden archipelago of mythical creatures.
If you’re into all-ages fantasy, this is one to pick up. Rundell’s series is written for readers 10 and up, but it has also found a sizable adult audience. It won Waterstones Book of the Year in 2023, and it’s drawn praise for its world-building, quick pace, and likeable leads, even if some critics think parts of it feel familiar or a bit too didactic.
The buzz isn’t limited to the books, either. Rundell’s wider catalogue has now reportedly passed four million copies sold worldwide, and Disney acquired the film rights in October 2025 in what was reported as a seven-figure multi-film deal. Rundell is writing the first two screenplays and will also help guide the franchise creatively.
You’ll be able to find The Neverfear at major bookstores starting September 1, 2026.
