Or at least that somebody who worked with him might know what happened. When he went missing, I was sure his secret job had something to do with it. He turned them both down to work for whoever he was working for. He graduated valedictorian from Jefferson Academy and got full scholarship offers from two Ivy League schools. But he would just give me this little smirk and say, “You’re wrong, but you’re not totally wrong.” Whenever I tried to get more out of him he’d just laugh and promise to tell me when I got older. I used to swear up and down that Quinton was some super-secret spy like James Bond. Quinton’s been missing for months, but she knows he’s not dead. But Amari loses it when kids say that her big brother Quinton is dead. Amari has never fit in at that private school, but she knows she disappointed her Mama. Yes, a lot of elements in this book call to mind Harry Potter, but there were enough imaginative elements and interesting characters to make it feel fresh.Īs the book opens, Amari’s in trouble because she shoved a girl who’d been bullying her. I thought I was jaded about stories of kids discovering they have magic and getting training with others – but Amari and the Night Brothers delighted me. Review written January 6, 2022, from a library book.
