Amari And The Despicable Wonders, by B.B. Alston was a fun read. It had an interesting plot, intriguing twists, and there was well done balance between the highs and lows. For example, there are times in the book laden with suspense. But, there are also points that are straightforward and clear. The book showed good story design, with a solid start, great build up, amazing conclusion and a bitter-sweet finish. Set in a modern time, you follow teen girl Amari as she races to get “the wonders” before the villain, Dylan Van Helsing finds them. It is recommended for ages 8-12. I don’t want to give away too much information, but if you’re a fan of adventure and mystery, you might enjoy this book.
