Reviews

Praise for Rise of the Green Flame (Kwame's Magic Quest #1):

“This fast-paced early chapter book is the first in a new series and takes readers on a fantastical adventure into a magic school that feels somehow both familiar and brand new.... The cliff-hanger ending will have readers anxiously looking for further installments. Recommended for all collections serving young readers.” –School Library Journal, starred review
