Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy is one of the the best middle grade novels to have come out of 2023 thus far. The characters and friendships are charming and the story itself is brimming with action, adventure, magic and fun, as well as being deeply moving and delivering some fantastic historical insight into the Underground Railroad and civil rights movement in the US.
It’s a story that feels familiar (we’ve got the chosen one, missing parents, kids saving the day etc.) whilst feeling wholly unique and exciting in its own right. It’s the perfect story for fans of HP, Percy Jackson and Amari and the Night Brothers looking for their next thrilling and magical adventure. I had so much fun with this book and I’ve found myself once again utterly in awe of Angie Thomas’s talent. I can’t wait to recommend this to readers young and old as I eagerly await book two.
