Dhonielle Clayton makes her middle-grade debut with a fantasy adventure set in a global magic school in the sky -- an instant New York Times and #1 Indie Bestseller! " The Marvellers deserves the highest compliment I can give a book: I want to live in this world." --Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times bestselling-author Eleven-year-old Ella Durand is the first Conjuror to attend the Arcanum Training Institute, a magic school in the clouds where Marvellers from around the world practice their cultural arts, like brewing Indian spice elixirs and bartering with pesky Irish pixies. Despite her excitement, Ella discovers that being the first isn't easy--some Marvellers mistrust her magic, which they deem "bad and unnatural." But eventually, she finds friends in elixirs teacher, Masterji Thakur, and fellow misfits Brigit, a girl who hates magic, and Jason, a boy with a fondness for magical creatures. When a dangerous criminal known as the Ace of Anarchy escapes prison, supposedly with a Conjuror's aid, tensions grow in the Marvellian world and Ella becomes the target of suspicion. Worse, Masterji Thakur mysteriously disappears while away on a research trip. With the help of her friends and her own growing powers, Ella must find a way to clear her family's name and track down her mentor before it's too late. "A marvelous gift of a novel! With fantastical twists at every turn, Clayton has created a world that readers won't want to leave." --Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times -bestselling author of The Hate U Give and Concrete Rose

THE MARVELLERS was a magical middle-grade fantasy. It took me a little while to get a handle on the fantasy world as there were a lot of pieces but once that smoothed out for me, I was engrossed in the story. I loved the diversity of the characters, each being compelling and truly adding to the narrative, not being one-dimensionally diverse for the sake of checking off a box. There are many great thought-provoking and teachable moments for young readers, though adults can also glean quite a bit.
THE MARVELLERS is the first book of Dhonielle Clayton's The Conjureverse series. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to fans of middle-grade fantasy. I look forward to reading the next book, THE MEMORY THIEVES.
