"Magical Middle Grade fantasy at its most energetic, engaging, inclusive and inventive."
September 2024 Book of the Month
Huzzah! Magical Amari is back for the third instalment of B.B. Alston’s sensational supernatural agent series, and boy does Amari and the Despicable Wonders live up to sky-high hopes. As ever, Amari’s voice shines with dynamism and whip-smart wit as trouble brews in the form of a mind-manipulating prime minister and the threat of war.
This fabulous third book in the series kicks off with Amari encountering the big breaking news that magicians have attacked the Bureau of Supernatural affairs, leaving “many fearing the incident could spark a larger conflict, one as devastating as the Ancient War”. “This is my fault,” she responds, desperate for a chance to put things right, while her friends Jayden and Elsie rally round to support her, concerned about the condition of her aura.
Into this, war is escalating and everyone, including Amari’s newly-returned agent brother Quinton, is set on keeping her safe as her enemy Dylan is crowned leader of the League of Magicians. After discovering the only way to stop his destructive ambitions is to get their hands on powerful ancient Wonders, Amari and co set out on a perilous quest to do exactly that.
The magic and sense of adventure are off-the-scale exhilarating, as is the sense of doing whatever needs to be done in the name of doing what’s right.

Amari is amazing! This is an exciting, fast paced, supernatural adventure. Just, if not more exciting, as the previous two books and a book I just didn't want to put down.
Amari is amazing - 10 Stars!!! I LOVED this book.
If you haven't read the first two go and do it NOW!
This book follows on directly from the end of the 2nd book (the great game), Amari blames herself for everything that is happening but with the help of her friends they work together to try and put things right. I still love the supernatural world in which these books are set, with magicians, weredragons and a whole variety of other supernatural beings, hidden from the sight of the known world. This is an exciting, fast paced adventure.... Read Full Review
