- Notes: Amari and the Great Game, was a captivating read that many people may relate to. Although Amari goes through a lot in the story, there is a positive outcome at the end. The author did an excellent job of conveying Amari's mental and emotional struggles, as well as her treatment as a different individual with magical abilities. Life is similar to an obstacle course and a competition, with each person competing against themselves. Amari is not only competing against the challenges she faces but also with herself to overcome them. The book is an excellent representation of real-life experiences that everyone goes through, and readers can learn from it.
