This is an amazing adventure for any young person. This book combines magic, family, and bravery. The main person in this story is a young African American girl who thinks she knows what she wants. What she finds is beyond her wildest dreams. This book is well written, easy to follow, interesting, and very entertaining. I think my grandchildren would enjoy this book!

I really enjoyed how well the African American history and folklore was used in this novel. It was what I was hoping for from the genre, it had a great concept and did what I was expecting. I loved the way Angie Thomas wrote this, I had loved the Hate U Give by Angie Thomas so I was excited to read another great concept. The plot was so well done and I enjoyed every minute of it. The characters were great and this was another winner.

“It’s ridiculous that anyone would think that about me,” Zoe says. “I only wanna get back to my babies. I lost my daughter once, and now, because of Althea Sharpe, I’m separated from her again—along with my son.” She looks straight at a camera. “Alex and Alexis, wherever you are, I love you. We will be together again, I promise.”
