Amari and the Night Brothers is just as magical as Amari Peters herself. A supernatural mystery involving a missing brother, an evil magician, and summer camp tryouts. And at the centre of it all, Amari Peters, a young Black girl from a rough neighbourhood that's about to shake the world. A fantastic middle-grade fantasy with explosive action and amazing worldbuilding that leaves me hungry for a sequel.

Amari and the Night Brothers is a middle grade novel set in a magical world. Amari’s search for her missing brother leads her to the Department of Supernatural Affairs and a whole magical world she knew nothing about. A wonderful romp featuring Black girl power, mean girls, evil magicians and talking elevators with attitude. But there are also some serious social issues folded in as well including racism and economic deprivation.
