And I suspect a huge chunk of you all have already seen approximately 3 billion reviews (math checks out) of it on MMGM or #IMWAYR-I know I have, and tons and tons of y'all have had glowing things to say about it, which is wonderful! As for me.um.well.I was really enjoying this book, and then I started to lose interest, and then I got really enraged, but the ending wasn't bad, but then I read about the sequel and wasn't thrilled either, and I have a lot of stuff going on personally so I'm bent out of shape in general, and.yeah.

I know from email newsletters that it was the overall winner of the Barnes & Noble First Annual Children's and YA Book Awards (make of that what you will). And it has been super, SUPER-popular lately. Amari and the Night Brothers came out in January and has a sequel, Amari and the Great Game, coming out in April of 2022.

Here's some quick lengthy background you'll need for this review. But if she doesn't stick it out and pass the tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.OK, so we're all caught up. 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.

Now she must compete for a spot against kids who've known about magic their whole lives. 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. 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. Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive.
