Amari and the Night Brothers is just as magical as Amari Peters herself. A supernatural mystery involving a missing brother, an evil magician, and summer camp tryouts. And at the centre of it all, Amari Peters, a young Black girl from a rough neighbourhood that's about to shake the world. A fantastic middle-grade fantasy with explosive action and amazing worldbuilding that leaves me hungry for a sequel.
