Summary
Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this exhilarating debut middle-grade fantasy, the first in a trilogy filled with #BlackGirlMagic.
Amari Peters knows three things. Her brother, Quinton, has gone missing. No one will talk about it. His mysterious job holds a clue....
So when she’s invited for a trail at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, Amari is certain this is her chance to save him. But first she has to get her head around the new world of the Bureau where mermaids, aliens and magicians are real - and her roommate is a weredragon.
Amari must compete for a spot against kids who’ve known this world their whole lives. And with an evil magician threatening the whole supernatural world, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn’t pass the three tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.
To save her brother, Amari is going to have to fight harder for this than she ever has before....

Men in Black meets Harry Potter
This will prove very popular, I feel. With elements of a familiar young wizard's story and world, with monsters and villains and plots, and with a diverse cast that give a wide readership a new heroine to root for, this has a lot going for it.
Amari experiences a lot of prejudice and bullying for being the 'scholarship kid' at a school where mainly privileged children go. She's already suffering the loss of her beloved elder brother, missing for several months. And now she's looking at exclusion for standing up for herself.
She realises that her brother may have been hiding a lot from her though, after mysterious objects and people turn up, and she finds herself nominated, by him, to join a new academic establishment... a magical one.
With intolerance and bullying still at play, but now with magical powers, creatures and cultures coming at her from all sides, it's a 'magic school' story with the initiation of Men in Black. And Amari wants in, if it can help her find out what happened to Quintin, who she knows isn't dead, but deeply involved in this world.
An enjoyable story to listen to, Amari is voiced well and sounds her age, the Audible copy moves quickly though most readers may prefer to read this at their own pace.
The elements you expect in this kind of story are there - mentors, friends and enemies at school, challenges and trials, powers and lessons, teachers and of course villains to be thwarted with teamwork.
I enjoyed the way the author built a world around Amari that can be followed up in future stories, the elements are in place for a whole series to continue this first episode. She's a bright, brave and inspiring young protagonist that gives readers a new sort of hero to root for.
Lots of fun, plenty of Potter-like familiarity with lots of different features that make this fresh and current.
For ages 9-14.
With thanks to Nudge Books for providing a sample Audible copy.

Good Book
Brilliant to listen to in bed and it doesn't take long to get used to the narrator. it is narrated by an American so a bit hard to understand but still really good. I loved this book so much and i really enjoyed listening to it.

Great read!
A fantastic fantasy book for pre/early teens. The self discovery of this young girl was a fascinating listen and I would highly recommend.

on the whole, good
Good story, wasn't keen on the narrator, she made the main character seem petulant. for the book itself, more please.

Disappointing narrator
This could have been an easy 5 star, but the narration was so disappointing. Won’t be getting the audio for the second book.
