MY REVIEW
I have read and enjoyed all three of Angie Thomas books, The Hate U Give, On The Come Up, and Concrete Rose. So when I found out Angie Thomas had written a fantasy novel, I knew it would be good.
Nic Blake And The Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy, is a middle grade fantasy novel, unlike the author’s previous novels have all been contemporary fictional.
Nic Blake is a remarkable. All Nic has ever wanted is for her dad to teach her the GIFT, Now Nic Nac, as her father calls her has reached the age of twelve, her dad is going to teach her the GIFT to become a real Manifestor. The unremarkables don’t know anything about the GIFT.
Nic Blake gets a hellhound pup for her twelfth birthday.
The illusion of this fantastic fantasy is a must read for middle grade readers.
Although I enjoyed this first fantasy novel by Angie Thomas, for me personally my favourite is still the contemporary fiction book, The Hate U Give. But I’m ready to read another fantasy novel if Angie Thomas desires to write another one.
