But then he was murdered, and most people believed the Chief of Chiefs, most powerful of the criminals, was responsible. Nnamdi has vowed to avenge his father, but he wonders what a twelve-year-old boy can do. Until a mysterious nighttime meeting, the gift of a magical object that enables super powers, and a charge to use those powers for good changes his life forever. How can he fulfill his mission? How will he learn to control his newfound powers?
Award-winning Nnedi Okorafor, acclaimed for her Akata novels, introduces a new and engaging hero in her first novel for middle grade readers set against a richly textured background of contemporary Nigeria.

Needi okarafor är en av mina nya favoritförfattare, har läst vem fruktar döden också och båda böckerna är bra, så vackert välberskrivligt och fylligtspråk och fantastiska historier som man verkligen dras med av. Det är böcker man aldrig glömmer och fortsätter att ta fram i tanken och filosofera över handligen långt efter att boken nått sitt slut. En bok som passar alla oavsett preferenser av genrer.
