Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Magical Middle Grade Fantasy Book 1 Ch 1 Read Aloud @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston - This Friday I’ll be reading chapter 1 from the New York Times Bestseller Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston. If you are a Harry Potter Fan or love Percy Jackson books, you are gonna want to dive head first into this incredible middle grade magical and modern fantasy. I also cover the difference between a debut author and a prolific author as well as reveal a mystery quote… one word at a time.
Book Blurb: 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.
Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this exhilarating debut middle grade fantasy, the first in a trilogy filled with #blackgirlmagic.
