Hello readers and Happy February!
To begin this month’s weekend picks, I’d love to celebrate the start of Black History Month, which can be celebrated ALL year not just in February by reading fabulous Black voices in the YA community. One of those voices is beloved YA author, Angie Thomas!
This week I’d like to share Thomas’s epic middle grade tale Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor’s Prophecy. Full of fantasy, whimsy, and Black History, Nic Blake and the cast of characters shine in this first installment of the continuing Remarkables series.
In this debut, readers meet Nic Blake as she is celebrating her twelfth birthday. Though receiving a pet hellhound as a gift is pretty cool, Nic still feels the frustration of being a Remarkable in an Unremarkable world. Limited from learning about her magic, Nic dreams of becoming a powerful, skillful Manifestor like her dad. But when shocking and hidden secrets emerge, Nic and her two friends have to set out on a quest to find a magical tool she’s never heard of before in order to prevent her father from being imprisoned for a crime Nic refuses to believe he committed.
Full of inventive twists, turns, and magical creatures, Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor’s Prophecy is the perfect weekend read as it will keep you laughing one minute and on the edge of your seat the next. I cannot recommend diving into the Remarkable world enough for all the joy and the beauty in this continuing trilogy!
Until next week, keep reading!
