Emily
Knight I AM... is about a thirteen year old warrior named Emily, who
is far from ordinary and she hates it! The daughter of a heroic
warrior and the press favourite problem child. Against her wishes
she is sent to the Osaki Training School to control her powers. She
learns to fly, breathe under water and battle but someone has their
eyes set on Emily and now she has to chose between the two people she
loves.
Emily
Knight I AM... has elements of grittiness that is more mature than
other fantasy books. As well as being laugh out loud funny, the
characters are real, complicated and relatable. A. Bello pushes the
boundaries by breaking the conventions in this diverse, absorbing
novel.

The book covers look great. Besides Emily, who is your favorite character from your books and why?
ReplyDeleteThank you! My fav characters apart from Emily is Wesley Parker (I feel like he is the most like me) and Lox Knight because he's complicated and mysterious. No one ever knows whose side Lox is on - A.Bello
