Amari and the night brothers Cover Image Book

Amari and the night brothers / B.B. Alston ; illustrations by Godwin Akpan.

Amari & the night brothers (other title)
Alston, B. B., (author.). Akpan, Godwin, (illustrator.).

Summary:

Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good. So when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she's certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton--if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real. Now she must compete for a spot against kids who've known about magic their whole lives. No matter how hard she tries, Amari can't seem to escape their intense scrutiny and doubt--especially once her own supernaturally enhanced talent is deemed "illegal." With an evil magician threatening the supernatural world, and her classmates thinking she's an enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn't stick it out and pass the tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton.-- From dust jacket.
