Disponible en:

Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give, will be visiting with select students at Hoffman Middle School on Thursday, April 4, for the release of her latest book, Nic Blake and the Remarkables.

English language art teachers will select 150 students to attend the presentation at 1:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. Additionally, 45 of those students will receive a VIP button to attend a meet-and-greet and book signing after the presentation in the library.

Thomas is making her middle-grade debut by launching an inventive, hilarious, and suspenseful new contemporary fantasy trilogy inspired by African American history and folklore.

Summary of Nic Blake and the Remarkables

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.
