Loved this book. A page turner I couldn't put down. action packed with historical elements makes this book phenomenonal. ends with a satisfying conclusion but there will be another book so we don't get all the answers. Highly recommend to kids and grownups!
Thanks to NetGalley and Blazer & Bray for the ARC! The opinions are my own.
Wow! Angie Thomas is flexing her writing muscle in Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy. I'm used to her young adult fare--which I love, but Nic Blake??? I love these new characters and the world she created.
Nic and her father are Remarkables--people with power--living amongst the Unremarkable--people like us. Nic wants more than anything to use her Remarkable power to its fullest, but her father is hesitant to teach her. As the plot unravels, Nic and her friends go on a quest to save her father who is blamed for a crime that Nic refuses to believe that he committed. (I'm not going to tell if he did or not.) On their Nic and friends encounter monsters, demons, and other characters--helpful and not helpful alike. Family secrets are brought to light. And Nic receives some of the answers she's searching for.
Full of adventure, intrigue, girl power, and relationship building, fans of books like the Percy Jackson series, Tristan Strong, and others will devour this book!

25-26 Mark Twain nominee. While the book felt a little long for me as an adult reading about a trio of 12-year-olds going a million miles an hour, the backstory was immaculate. If you love cultural mythology and folklore, this book is for you! If you loved Percy Jackson, then Nic Blake is your next hero! Adults and children will learn so much about African and African-American myths and lore while going on a high-octane adventure.

Nic has just turned 12 and instead of teaching her how to be a Manifestor (again), her Dad has instead given her a pet hellhound. Not that she doesn't love her new hellhound, but all she wants to do is learn how to be a Manifestor like her Dad. Instead she has a few strange encounters that lead her to believe there is something wrong with her. Then the unimaginable happens and Nic and her best friend JP are avoiding the magical authorities and trying to discover the truth before time runs out. Thomas' first middle grade novel is a fantastical magical journey full of memorable characters, Highly recommended
