Akata Witch (The Nsibidi Scripts)

Â "Nnedi Okorafor writes glorious futures and fabulous fantasies. Her characters take your heart and squeeze it; her worlds open your mind to new things." -- Neil Gaiman, author ofÂ The Graveyard BookÂ andÂ American GodsÂ

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. Perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone!

Â Â Â Sunny Nwazue lives in Nigeria, but she was born in New York City. Her features are West African, but she's albino. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazingâ€”she is a "free agent" with latent magical power. And she has a lot of catching up to do.
Â Â Â Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But as sheâ€™s finding her footing, Sunny and her friends are asked by the magical authorities to help track down a career criminal who knows magic, too. Will their training be enough to help them combat a threat whose powers greatly outnumber theirs?
Â Â Â World Fantasy Award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor blends magic and adventure to create a lush world. Her writing has been called â€œstunningâ€ by The New York Times and her fans include Neil Gaiman, Rick Riordan, John Green, Ursula K. Le Guin, and many more!
