Key Points:
- Publishing April 4, 2023, Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy is the first in a contemporary fantasy trilogy inspired by African American history and folklore.
- Angie Thomas said: "I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that over the past two years, I've desperately needed an escape.
- While I'm known for writing young adult fiction that hits on hard topics, whenever I want to read for enjoyment, I usually turn to middle grade fantasy novels.
- But we've never seen Angie in the fantasy realm, weaving her own original magic systems with African American history and legend.
