The Callers Written by Kiah Thomas

I would like to share a new children’s book The Callers written by Kiah Thomas in exchange for this review.

The Callers by [Kiah Thomas] — I’ve love learning about new Authors and checking out there writing style and its why I was excited to read The Callers Written by Kiah Thomas debut middle-grade novel. Which can be used in Charlie’s Homeschool Reading Class.

Before I asked Charlie to read The Callers I sat down to read the book so when Charlie finished we could discuss the story and also this way I could see if I thought the book might be to hard for Charlie to read on his own should be read together.

The story wasn’t hard to read and once you begin reading you find yourself drawn in and wouldn’t want to put the book down. I love how it touched on the following subject’s environmental crisis, greed, and exploitation which Charlie and I can explore more of in our Homeschool Reading Class.

**About**

‘Beautiful, big-hearted and so original — I fell in love with this book.’
– Amie Kaufman, NYT bestselling author of *The World Between Blinks*

CALLERS CAN CONJURE ANYTHING OUT OF THIN AIR.
BUT WHAT IF THE THINGS DON’T COME FROM NOTHING?
WHAT IF THEY’RE TAKEN FROM . . . SOMEONE ELSE?

In the world of Elipsom, the ability to Call, or summon objects, is a coveted skill. And yet despite being born into a family of Callers, Quin doesn’t have the gift.

But everything changes when instead of summoning an object, Quin makes something *disappear*. He quickly discovers that the objects Callers bring into their world aren’t conjured at all, but are taken from another land, and another people who have had their lives slowly stolen from them.

Now Quin must team up with Allie, a girl who’s determined to stop this unjust practice, and decide whether he should remain loyal to his family or betray them-and save the world.

From dazzling newcomer Kiah Thomas comes an arresting, fast-paced and thought-provoking adventure about the consequences of wanting more than we need.
