October 2022 Book of the Month
Sequel to Amari and the Night Brothers, B.B. Alston’s Amari and the Great Game is an energetic adventure for fans of big world-building, big characters and the highest of high-stakes storylines, with Amari’s fabulously dynamic, authentic voice at its spirited heart.
Fresh from finding her cursed brother and saving the supernatural world, Amari’s fortune cookie warns her to “Beware of unseen dangers” just as a time freeze strikes and she’s uninvited to summer camp at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. So much for her first stint as a Junior Agent being a walk in the park.
When magicians are blamed for the freezing event and put on the UnWanted list, and when old divisions of the Ancient War re-emerge, it’s understandable that Amari turns down a leadership opportunity when the League of Magicians come a-calling. But when the Great Game challenge is issued — a high-stakes contest that will decide the future of magiciankind — how can she not step up…?
Rooted in friendship (“being best friends means showing up for each other no matter what”) and a sense of being brave and doing the right thing, Amari and the Great Game is magical in multiple ways.

Sequel to the New York Times bestseller Amari and the Night Brothers! Artemis Fowl meets Men in Black in this magical second book in the New York Times bestselling Supernatural Investigations trilogy, soon to be a major movie starring Marsai Martin.
Perfect for 8+ fans of Percy Jackson and Nevermoor.
After finding her brother and saving the entire supernatural world, Amari Peters is convinced her first full summer as a Junior Agent will be a breeze. But between the fearsome new Head Minister's strict anti-magician agenda, fierce Junior Agent rivalries, and her brother Quinton's curse steadily worsening, Amari's plate is full. So when the secretive League of Magicians offers her a chance to stand up for magiciankind as its new leader, she declines. She's got enough to worry about! But her refusal allows someone else to step forward, a magician with dangerous plans for the League.
This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers' successor and determine the future of magiciankind. The Great Game is both mysterious and deadly, but among the winner's magical rewards is Quinton's last hope . . . so how can Amari refuse?
