“Keynan Masters And The Peerless Magic Crew was a great middle grade read. This book had a great and unique concept. This was such a fun story and the author did a great job creating the world as well as a unique magic system. This was a great start to a new series and I think a lot of middle graders will enjoy reading this book.
In this book, we follow Keynan Masters as works to unlock his magic and learn the secrets of Peerless Academy. He then has to work with his new friends to try to save the school from being destroyed by magic.

“While this story is similar to other magic/fantasy stories in that it takes place in a school, there are many things that set it apart. Keynan's magic is in his rhymes. There are no spells or anything, like in other stories. Also, Keynan doesn't know about the magic and the power his rhymes have until well into the story.”

“I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily posting a review. All opinions are my own.
I’m loving the latest crop of diverse middle grade fantasy, and Keynan Masters and the Peerless Magic Crew is no different. It has a lot to offer, with a unique take on the “magic school” archetype. The setting itself is super interesting, from the storms threatening their home to intricate education system, on the surface being designed for those in creative fields, but from a rather draconian, restrictive lens, presents an excellent contradiction.
Keynan also is an interesting lead to explore all this through. He’s not always the most likable, being rather selfish and smug at times. And initially his tendency to break rules is seen as a bad thing. However, the story strikes a great balance between him learning and growing as he forms bonds with people, while also allowing him to ask the questions about what’s really going on that school’s staff aren’t telling the students.
There’s a lot going on, between the deceptively simple “school” stuff to the unraveling mystery around what’s going on with the storms. It’s more or less fast paced, keeping me engaged throughout with the consistent suspense. And while there are some answers given to the problem at hand, the book ends with a cliffhanger, setting up the next adventure.
This was a fun first-in-series, and I can’t wait for more. If you’re looking for a new middle grade fantasy-adventure, I’d recommend checking this out!”
