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.
Graphic: Bullying
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Violence and Confinement
