Synopsis

Instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

Internationally bestselling superstar author Angie Thomas makes her middle grade debut with the launch of an inventive, hilarious, and suspenseful new contemporary fantasy trilogy inspired by African American history and folklore.

It’s not easy being a Remarkable in the Unremarkable world. Some things are cool―like getting a pet hellhound for your twelfth birthday. Others, not so much―like not being trusted to learn magic because you might use it to take revenge on an annoying neighbor.

All Nic Blake wants is to be a powerful Manifestor like her dad. But before she has a chance to convince him to teach her the gift, a series of shocking revelations and terrifying events launch Nic and two friends on a hunt for a powerful magic tool she’s never heard of...to save her father from imprisonment for a crime she refuses to believe he committed.

• A Modern Magical World: Welcome to the world of the Remarkables, where getting a pet hellhound for your twelfth birthday is totally normal, but learning your own powers is strictly off-limits.
• Black Girl Magic: Meet Nic Blake, a determined Manifestor-in-training who just wants to learn the Gift. But when her own magic is the one thing that might save her dad, she’ll have to unlock it on her own terms.
• Inspired by Folklore: Discover a rich fantasy landscape woven from African American history and legends like "The People Could Fly" and the tales of High John de Conqueror.
• Friendship and Found Family: Joined by her hilarious, bow-tie-loving best friend JP and a long-lost twin brother she never knew existed, Nic must rely on her crew to uncover the truth.
