Amira & Hamza: The War to Save the Worlds by Samira Ahmed

4.0

Thank you to Little, Brown Young Readers and NetGalley for providing me with the audiobook for review.

Amira & Hamza: The War to Save the Worlds is a very fun middle grade with a lot of Rick Riordan Present vibes (I'm slightly surprised it isn't). Amira and Hamza are such fun characters. Their sibling dynamic reads very nice. Hamza's MCU references gave me life.

The siblings get in a bit of trouble one evening when stargazing. When the moon starts to break and time stops, they come face-to-face with jinn. The jinn reveal that the siblings have a role to play in an ancient prophecy. Together, they must journey to the mystical land of Qaf, battle a great evil, and end a civil war to prevent the moon—the stopper between realms—from breaking apart and unleashing terrifying jinn, devs, and ghuls onto earth. Or they might have to say goodbye to their parents and life as they know it, forever.

I recommend Amira & Hamza: The War to Save the Worlds to anyone who enjoys the Rick Riordan Presents books.
