The Mermaid Reveal (School for Unusual Magic #3)

About this book

Lav is about to start at a new school in Chicago, but his heart is torn between his home and his friends back in Brooklyn.

Luckily, the Brooklyn School of Magic, the Brooklyn Under school of Magic, and the Chicago Academy of Magical Arts are all participating in a new initiative to unify all Magic Bearers. Lav is thrilled because he’s now able to see Amethyst, in her first semester at the Under School and thriving, and Rose, who seems unsure of how to find her footing during their final year of Elementary Magic, a lot easier and more regularly. But the undertaking, a play that will be practiced and put on is a space that’s accessible for all three communities, isn’t as smooth sailing as anyone hoped.

Unsure of his ability, Lav is feeling hopeless. But with the power of magic and friendship, he just might be able to make the difference all Magic Bearers need.

Reviews

Praise for Mermaid Reveal:

"A clever story that explroes the interplay between relationships and magic." -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Maybe An Artist:

* "...Montague's illustrations, rendered in a flat pastel color palette and paired with deadpan humor and insightful social commentary, crafts an inspiring journey of self-discovery, self-expression, and self-love." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A delightful combination of text and images delivered with humor and heart." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The book is very effective in capturing the frustration and confusion of a young person dealing with a learning disorder and using her love of art to help her navigate reading. Montague's story is sometimes poignant but ultimately sweet and uplifting, and it will provide inspiration for young artists everywhere." -- School Library Journal
