Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Book of Anansi

The highly anticipated sequel to the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy—a boldly original and suspenseful fantasy adventure by one of the most popular and imaginative voices of this generation, Angie Thomas.

All of Nic’s dreams have come true. After years of living in hiding as a Remarkable in the Unremarkable world, she now has everything she’d ever wanted: certified hero status, a big family and a real home in the hidden city of Uhuru, and a chance to develop her Gift at a school for young Manifestors like her.

So life is perfect, right?

Not quite. Her-favorite-author-turned-vengeful-outcast wants to destroy her. Then there’s the terrifying secret prophecy that still threatens Nic’s future, and the dangerous new power she seems to have—one she cannot control. And that’s all before she encounters a cult of mysterious Manifestors who threaten to reveal the truth about her power and prophecy unless Nic delivers to them a legendary artifact, the Book of Anansi. There’s just one small complication: No one knows if it still exists, or where it could be hidden.

Nic now has only her twin brother, Alex, and her best friend, JP, to rely on as she makes a desperate attempt to uncover one of the Remarkable world’s oldest mysteries—and hold on to the home and family she has been searching for her entire life.

She finally has the family she’s always wanted. But can she keep them safe when a dangerous prophecy hangs over her head?

• Secret Prophecy: Nic is the prophesied “Manowari,” a destroyer. If her secret gets out, she could lose everything—including her new family.
• Mythical Artifact Hunt: To protect herself, Nic must find the legendary Book of Anansi. The only problem? No one knows if this book tied to ancient folklore even exists.
• Uncontrollable Black Girl Magic: A strange new power is growing inside Nic, and she can’t control it. Is it the key to fulfilling her destiny, or will it be her undoing?
• Friendship, Family, and High Stakes: With enemies closing in, Nic has to rely on her twin brother, Alex, and her best friend, JP. But can three kids outsmart an ancient cult and a vengeful villain?
