The most extraordinary and enchanting book of the year is here! Amari and the Night Brothers – the first in a magical new series for all ages from breakout author B.B. Alston.   Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing older brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good.   So when she discovers a ticking briefcase in his closet containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she’s certain the secretive organisation holds the key to locating Quinton – if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real.   Now she must compete for a spot against kids who’ve known about magic their whole lives. No matter how hard she tries, Amari can’t seem to escape their intense scrutiny and doubt – especially once her own supernaturally enhanced talent is deemed ‘illegal’.    With an evil magician threatening the supernatural world, and her own classmates thinking she’s an enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn’t stick it out and pass the tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton ...   Praise for Amari and the Night Brothers:   'Sharp, funny and brightly imaginative – a big adventure filled with magic and heart.' – Jessica Townsend, New York Times bestselling author of the Nevermoor series 'An enchanting fantasy adventure filled with heart and soul. Amari is magical!' —Angie Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give.   '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. Amari is the heroine we all need.' – Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin
