Middle Grade Edition
I LOVED these books. They all got 4.5-5 star ratings from me. One of the most special parts of the reading experience was being fully immersed in a new magical world that was fully unique and developed.
Similarities:
magical elements

Differences to Note:
the setting of Nic Blake is different than the other two, as it is more of a quest story
Amari has two books out in the series, Book 2 of Onyeka is out 5/30/23, Nic Blake is out 4/4/23
