Amari and the Great Game: The magical sequel to the New York Times bestseller AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS, new for 2022!

Product Information

But Amari is brave and cares for her friends, even when things are complicated, and she tries to make the best choices she can. the cast of characters is just as wonderful as ever, but for most of the novel, they all act independently from one another with only Amari as the connecting piece. I also think Amari will have a moment when she only has a little hope left, and she makes it burn like a bonfire. This book ends on more of a cliffhanger, so it doesn't feel like a complete and satisfying narrative in the way the first book did.

It was pretty enjoyable, but not quite as good as I was expecting 😒😒 Probably my fault for going in with such high expectations.There are things she goes through where I would've been showing my ass but Amari tamps down her anger and states the facts and gets the problem solved with logic and evidence. once these characters all come together around that 80% mark, wonderful things happen, but the waiting period to get to an exciting part of the story is such a huge contrast to the incredible experience I had with the first novel in this series.

I am continuously wowed by Alston's creativity, sensitivity and ability to create characters, relationships and situations I whole heartedly believe in and care for. It’s so easy for some people to dismiss others’ experiences because they don’t have the same problems. After meeting a coven of old ladies, it becomes clear that Orla's arrival in Poldevel is no longer a coincidence. My eleven year got the first Amari book for his birthday and declared it "the best book I've ever read!I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic! The first book in this series, AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS was one of my favourite reads of 2021, and it’s my number one recommendation for patrons looking for books like Harry Potter. This timely, energetic, first-person narrative moves quickly with clear descriptions, a thrilling buildup, and strong messages about profiling. Praise for AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS: "The story introduces a world of enchantment, danger, excitement, and humor. Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned.

One of the big reasons that I liked the first book was that it was very unique and stood out from the crowd of middle grade books.This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers’ successor and determine the future of magiciankind. This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers' successor and determine the future of magiciankind. Amari and the Great Game released in August of 2022 and because I had listened to, and enjoyed, the audiobook for the 1st-book, I wanted to continue with that format moving forward with the series.

As a former black girl misfit who wanted nothing more in the world than to be magical, this book is a song to my soul. She's the only one who can solve this mystery, and she'll need help from the only other member of the family with good instincts - Dave the dog. The Great Game is both mysterious and deadly, but among the winner’s magical rewards is Quinton’s last hope—so how can Amari refuse? Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. It would have been nice to see Alston using alternate descriptions rather than playing along with stereotypes.While many parallels can be drawn between the protagonist and a certain boy wizard, readers will root for Amari's own unique determination and wit. I genuinely love this series so, so much - the plot is fantastic, the world building is perfect, and. It's more character action than plot building to begin with, so it may seem initially not much is going on also. Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this magical second book in the New York Times and Indie bestselling Supernatural Investigations trilogy--perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky , the Percy Jackson series, and Nevermoor . So when the secretive League of Magicians offers her a chance to stand up for magiciankind as its new leader, she declines.
