Internationally bestselling superstar author Angie Thomas makes her middle grade debut with the
launch of an inventive hilarious and suspenseful new contemporary fantasy trilogy inspired by
African American history and folklore. It's not easy being a Remarkable in the Unremarkable
world. Some things are cool?like getting a pet hellhound for your twelfth birthday. Others not
so much?like not being trusted to learn magic because you might use it to take revenge on an
annoying neighbor. All Nic Blake wants is to be a powerful Manifestor like her dad. But before
she has a chance to convince him to teach her the gift a series of shocking revelations and
terrifying events launch Nic and two friends on a hunt for a powerful magic tool she's never
heard of...to save her father from imprisonment for a crime she refuses to believe he
committed.
