Thank you to Angie Thomas, HarperCollins Children's Books, Balzer + Bray, and Netgalley for this free advanced reader copy of "Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy" for an honest review.

I absolutely ran to scoop this up when it dropped that Angie Thomas was going to roll out a debut for middle-grade readers. I'm so, so, so, glad I did. While I know that I love her realistic fiction works aimed at older audiences, I found myself unabashedly adoring the whole of this new-genre fantasy world and our brand-new Miss Nic, her silly but smart father, her best friend/sidekick friends.

I love it and will be getting copies for my nieces & nephews!

A good middle grade, a little predictable but it’s nice to see this kind of story from a non-white perspective. I’m more excited for what a future of the series looks like

Action packed. Wish I had this type of book when I was in elementary. This would be a great series. Loved the historical references.  Looking forward to the next installment.

This is the easiest five stars I’ve given in a while!

I loved this middle-grade story. It would be a great addition to any classroom curriculum focusing on African American Heroes and folklore.

I wanted to know more, so I picked up The People Could Fly: The Picture Book (I’m pretty sure I’ve read the picture book before) and am looking into the people and stories mentioned.

This is my first book by Angie Thomas and won’t be my last. Her ability to embed these folktales/folklores into a fantasy story full of action, history, friendship, family, folklore, and foes impressed me!

If you can’t tell, I’m excited about the release of the next book in this series. Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Book of Anansi can’t come soon enough! There’s a spot on my shelf eagerly waiting to be filled!

One of my favorite parts of this book was the fact that Angie Thomas never once talked "down" to her audience. I think middle schoolers will recognize that and feel it is a more sophisticated story. I loved the adventures, and I think fans of Percy Jackson and Amari will be huge fans.

While this has nothing to do with the quality of the story, I wish the cover was more appealing to older MG readers, because I'm having a harder time getting those kids to give it a chance.
