Nnedi Okorafor is a novelist of African-based science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism for both children and adults.
As soon as you start reading Akata Witch, you will be, too! Le Guin and John Green are Nnedi Okorafor fans. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too? Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. And then she discovers something amazing-she is a free agent with latent magical power. There seems to be no place where she fits in. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. Her features are African, but she's albino. Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Affectionately dubbed the Nigerian Harry Potter, Akata Witch weaves together a heart-pounding tale of magic, mystery, and finding one's place in the world.
