This was such a fun adventure! Full of low key facts about culture and history! My kids and I loved it!
When I saw that the fabulous Angie Thomas was publishing a middle grade fantasy novel and it was available on NetGalley, I couldn’t request it fast enough! When I got approved, I literally jumped for joy. I just knew it was going to be amazing, and I wasn’t disappointed. The way that Angie Thomas wove a story full of history, mythology, and current events was magical (no pun intended). This will be perfect for fans of the Tristan Strong series and Amari & the Night Brothers. I will absolutely be adding this to my school library’s collection as soon as it is available! 4.5⭐️

Content Warnings: kidnapping, racism, grief, violence
Angie Thomas’ middle-grade debut is filled with adventure, action, and magical creatures! I enjoyed learning about the world of the Remarkables and their history. The plot was fast-paced and action-packed. All throughout we got to meet intriguing new characters and learn more about their myths and legends. The characters, especially Nic, were interesting to read about and added a great balance of humour and determination. There were a lot of great plot twists that kept me guessing, and the writing style was easy to follow. I listened to the audiobook and I definitely recommend it, the narrator does a great job of bringing the characters to life. All in all, a fun read and I’m excited to see what happens in book 2!
