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
"It's amazing how much story Mensah and Nayo are able to pack into this.... This is a great strong start to a fun and action packed new series. Don't miss it!" - Betsy Bird, author and Collection Development Manager of the Evanston Public Library
