Nic Blake and the Remarkables
The highly anticipated sequel to the instant #1 NYT bestseller Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy, an inventive and suspenseful fantasy by superstar author Angie Thomas.
All of Nic’s dreams have come true at last.
After years of living in hiding as a Remarkable in the Unremarkable world, Nic has everything she’d ever wanted: a big family, a forever home (in the magical city of Uhuru!), and, finally, a chance to learn the Gift at Manifestor school. And she’s hailed as a hero after finding the Msaidizi, a long-lost ancient magical weapon.
So life is perfect, right?
Well, except that her favorite author wants her dead, and a terrifying secret prophecy threatens her future. And Nic still can’t wield the Gift like other twelve-year-old Manifestors, which scares her. But then a bizarre encounter makes these problems seem as serious as a stubbed toe. She’s given a deadly ultimatum: Find the Book of Anansi or put her family’s life in peril. There’s just one tiny complication: Not only does no one know where the book is—they don’t even believe it exists…
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.
