The Bravest Warrior in Nefaria
ByPublisher Description
Phineas and Ferb meets the Despicable Me series in this “fanciful, humorous, and original” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade debut from acclaimed author Adi Alsaid about a wannabe hero who lives in a goofily evil kingdom where nefarious schemes abound.
Welcome to Nefaria, where nearly every day the kingdom faces another evil scheme.
Most are harmless, though, so the citizens of Nefaria simply learn to live with the latest hijinks and go on with their lives. This includes Bobert Bougainvillea, who is much more concerned with the fact that he seems to be invisible. From the teachers in his school to his classmates, almost no one notices Bobert, no matter how visible he tries to be. Then everything changes when Bobert follows his classmates to a cursed gumball machine.
Before he knows it, Bobert is sucked into one of Nefaria’s most villainous evil schemes, a plot that has been a long time in the making—too long, in the evil wizard Matt’s opinion. And retreating into invisibility this time won’t do, not when Bobert is the only one with the drive, knowledge, and—if his newfound courage doesn’t fail him—bravery to foil Matt’s plan.

“This was such a fun and imaginative middle grade read! This book was very well written and had a great fantasy story that I think young readers will love. The Bravest Warrior In Nefaria had great, likable characters and was full of whimsical moments, evil schemes, as well as relatable messages about loneliness and friendship. Overall this was a great book for middle grade readers.
Thank you Simon Kids for a copy of this book.”

Content Warnings: kidnapping
This was a cute read! There were a lot of silly and fun elements like flying goats that made the book feel light hearted. On the other hand, there were also great underlying messages about being true to yourself and standing up for what you think is right. In terms of the plot, I felt that it was slow at times and could have benefitted from some more action. However, the writing was easy to follow and flowed nicely. I also enjoyed reading from the perspective of a variety of characters throughout the book.”

“This was the perfect bedtime read aloud! All three kiddos loved it (ages 8, 9, and 12). I even found myself cheering along Bobert and his new found friends as they tried to stop Evil Wizard Matt. For all the silliness (flying goats) and evil schemes there were heartfelt moments that made this book a favorite. It is also the perfect length to hold everyone’s attention at night!”
