Chloe Vega and the Agents of Magic

Amari and the Night Brothers meets Witchlings in the first book of a new middle grade fantasy series by debut author Leslie Adame that follows Chloe Vega, who must train at an elite magical academy to face off against a powerful sorcerer disguised as an immigration officer after he kidnaps her undocumented parents.

Twelve-year-old Chloe Vega’s biggest fear is that her undocumented parents will be detained by Immigration. That is, until she learns that her parents are actually part of a secret magical society…and that the suspicious-looking police officers who have been hanging around their block are henchmen for an evil sorcerer determined to settle a decades-old score. 

Just when Chloe discovers that she has powers, too, her parents are kidnapped. In order to rescue them, she’ll need to harness her abilities at an elite academy run by the very agency that exiled her parents from the magical world.

Finding herself in the center of a magical war that might destroy everything she has ever known, Chloe can’t shake the feeling that the Agents of Magic are hiding secrets. With her parents’ lives hanging in the balance, she must uncover who is truly on her side—and fast—to save her family...and the world itself.
