Amari and the Night Brothers

By B.B. Alston

Book Overview

New York Times bestseller!

Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this exhilarating debut middle grade fantasy, the first in a series 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.

Customer Reviews

Missing pages not described in condition of book. It was listed as very good condition.

This book was amazing! My 9 year old daughter and husband read it together and thoroughly enjoyed it. Until we got to the end and realized 8 pages were missing. My child is very upset with that kind of a cliffhanger.

Fabulous book!

My 4th grader, 5th grader, and I all loved this exciting book. If your kids (or you) like the fantasy and the supernatural, this is a must read!

Move over, Harry Potter!

Amari and the Night Brothers is a mesmerizing story that takes place in a rich, well-crafted fantasy world with a relatable heroine that you can't help but root for through each and every challenge she faces. I couldn't put this one down!
