2021 book 251

 Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Slightly Alarming Tale of the Whispering Wars

The second book in the Kingdom and Empires series is actually a prequel to the first one, focusing on a group of children who have to team up to save the day, even though they are bitter rivals—one set is from the local orphanage, one from a snotty boarding school, and the story is narrated in turns by a student from each. (The bickering between the narrators is pretty funny.) And of course some familiar faces from the first book do pop up. Action-packed, bittersweet, great story.
