New Book Purchase: The Blazing Star

A few minutes ago, I took my trusty gift card and bought the digital version of The Blazing Star by Imani Josey. One of my goals for 2017 is to read more fantasy adventure books and this was at the top of my list. I can't wait to read this.


Book: The Blazing Star by Imani Josey

Edition: Digital

Description:

Sixteen-year-old Portia White is used to being overlooked after all, her twin sister Alex is a literal genius.

But when Portia holds an Egyptian scarab beetle during history class, she takes center stage in a way she never expected: she faints. Upon waking, she is stronger, faster, and braver than before. And when she accidentally touches the scarab again?

She wakes up in ancient Egypt her sister and an unwitting freshman in tow.

Great.

Mysterious and beautiful, Egypt is more than they could have ever imagined from their days in the classroom. History comes alive as the three teens realize that getting back to the present will be the most difficult thing they've ever done. Stalked by vicious monsters called Scorpions, every step in the right direction means a step closer to danger.

As Portia and the girls discover that they're linked to the past by more than just chance, they have to decide what it truly means to be yourself, to love your sister, and to find your way home.
