Harry Potter meets Men in Black in this exhilarating debut middle grade fantasy, the first in a trilogy filled with #blackgirlmagic. Perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky, the Percy Jackson series, and Nevermoor.

Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good.

So when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet, containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she’s certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton—if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real.

Now she must compete for a spot against kids who’ve known about magic their whole lives. No matter how hard she tries, Amari can’t seem to escape their intense doubt and scrutiny—especially once her supernaturally enhanced talent is deemed “illegal.” With an evil magician threatening the supernatural world, and her own classmates thinking she’s an enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn’t stick it out and pass the tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.

Primeiro Middle Grade Fantasy de 2022 e eu simplesmente amei de paixão. Que livro maravilhoso, amei a Amari e a Elsie, elas são as melhores. Eu adorei como as duas mantém a amizade mesmo indo de encontro as opiniões alheias.
Eu não tava preparada pro plot twist, não desconfiei de absolutamente nada. Fiquei muito chocada, extremamente chocada. Preciso muito saber como essa história vai acabar. O triste é que o segundo livro só sai em agosto e o terceiro só em 2023.
