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 this one had a lot of things that pop up a lot in middle grade books, and while that isn’t necessarily bad, it just made the book less original and a lot less exciting for me.

I had just finished Empire of Storms, was suffering a MAJOR book hangover and just was in more of a YA mood. This second book was published in August 2022—that’s a publishing difference of one year and seven months, for a total of nineteen (19) months. It's a good thing this book is the first of a series, because readers will be sorely disappointed when it ends. I’m always nervous about picking up a sequel because they often don’t meet my expectation, but this was certainly not the case with AMARI AND THE GREAT GAME. Orla thought she was in for a relaxing family holiday, but when she finds a mysterious glowing necklace in the woods, it turns out there is a slight possibility she may have uncovered an ancient curse.

When not writing, he can be found eating too many sweets and exploring country roads to see where they lead.

This is sure to have you at the edge of your seat, cheering for the heroes and wishing you were there alongside them. I was equally excited and terrified to read it because of how incredible The Night Brothers was but I can say with a huge amount of relief and joy that The Great Game did not disappoint. The world building is incredible, the history, the themes, the magick, the characters, it's all so freaking beautiful! 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 was hard to put down this story with its fast-paced action, clever twists, and excellent writing.Wirklich nett von den Bösewicht*Innen, dass sie immer auf die Sommerferien warten, um Unfug zu treiben. Amari and the Great Game immerses you back into the vibrant supernatural world living hidden within our own. I also just think I read it at the wrong time- at the moment, I have to be in a very specific mood to enjoy middle grade. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! But by the time I’d reached Chapter 5 in this second book, I had been having steady Harry Potter flashbacks.

There are also fierce Junior Agent rivalries, while her brother Quinton’s curse is steadily worsening. I think at the end of the day, this book is missing the fun and charm of the first book, and that definitely impacted my enjoyment. 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? Instead she is offered the Crown of Count Vladimir, a rare treasure that confers powers she doesn’t feel ready to accept. B. Alston's debut is a rousing success and kicks off a series that will truly stand out from the rest!Direkt zu Beginn des Buchs wird Amari für ein Verbrechen verantwortlich gemacht, das sie nun heimlich aufzuklären versucht während die Oberbehörde ihr das Leben so schwer wie möglich macht. But Amari is brave and cares for her friends, even when things are complicated, and she tries to make the best choices she can. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books.

Her life has completely changed and she finds all sorts of new responsibilities and worries on her plate.Und als ob das nicht schon reichen würde taucht auch noch die Magische Allianz auf und zwingt Amari in ein gefährliches Abenteuer, bei dem sie alles gewinnen oder alles verlieren könnte.
