Gr 9 Up—Echo is a poor Black teenage wizard in a world that is not set up for her success. She narrates her story of
harnessing her powers and carving out space for herself in the world. This novel is packed with magical realism,
sharp observations, and revelations about addiction, depression, race, sexual abuse, and class that unfurl slowly
and complicate one another. Readers will be gutted, then changed.

It took me a lot longer than I thought to read this book. The story demands to be felt and absorbed slowly to fully understand and appreciate the depth of it. (

Wow. Just. Wow.

Brown's story is just so powerful. I love the stylistic choices of going back and forth between moments of time. And I know this is an autobiography, but the magic just feels so real and beautiful. Thank you, Echo Brown, for sharing your story with all the ups and downs. You are a powerful wizard, and I honor you. (

Wow just wow. An amazing book about overcoming a plethora of obstacles: abuse both physical and emotional, racism, sexism and more. A very deeply moving book about a girl showing the world that she is unlimited. (
