The Manifestor Prophecy
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.
Angie Thomas
Angie Thomas writes the kind of stories that feel like they were lived before they were ever put on the page. Her voice carries the cadence of real conversations, the tension of real streets, and the quiet, complicated hope of young people trying to define themselves in a world that often speaks over them.
She grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, in a neighborhood where community and hardship existed side by side. As a child, she witnessed violence early, but just as importantly, she was shown another path, one shaped by books, music, and imagination. Hip-hop became one of her first storytelling languages, long before novels did. That influence never faded, it still echoes in her writing through rhythm, sharp dialogue, and an instinct for emotional honesty that feels immediate rather than crafted.
Nic Blake and the Remarkables
Nic Blake and the Remarkables steps into a different lane from the author’s earlier work, but it carries the same unmistakable sense of voice, sharp, grounded, and deeply rooted in identity. This time, the story unfolds through magic, myth, and adventure, opening the door to a hidden world where history and imagination are tightly intertwined.
Nic Blake and the Remarkables consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
