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.

With a vengeful author, a mysterious cult, and a world-ending prophecy on her plate, what could possibly go wrong?

• Secret Prophecy: Nic is foretold to be the Manowari, a destroyer of worlds. But she's supposed to be the hero. Can she outrun a destiny that's been waiting for centuries?
• Black Folklore & Mythology: This fast-paced quest is rooted in rich legends, from the trickster spider Anansi to powerful water spirits.
• A Trio of Friends: Nic, her brainy twin brother Alex, and her loyal best friend JP must rely on each other to uncover the truth—even when the whole Remarkable world is against them.
• Uncontrollable Magic: A strange new power is growing inside Nic. Is it the key to saving everyone, or the very thing that will tear her world apart?
