Publisher Description

Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are 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 amazing—she is a “free agent” with latent magical power. Soon she’s part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too?

Quotes

“Nigeria and the world of the Leopard people come to life with Yetide Badaki’s engaging multi-accented narration. Sunny Nwazue is Igbo and American, albino, and about to discover she is magic. Badaki smoothly switches between Sunny’s and her friend Sasha’s American accents and the voices of her new Nigerian friends, cheeky Chichi and solemn Orlu….This rich fantasy is made all the better by Badaki’s dynamic narration. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“Filled with marvels and is sure to appeal to teens whose interest in fantasy goes beyond dwarves and fairies.”
— Publishers Weekly
“This vividly imagined, original fantasy shows what life is like in today’s Nigeria, while it beautifully explores an alternate magical reality…A consistently surprising, inventive read that will appeal to more thoughtful, patient fantasy readers because it relies less on action and more on exploring the characters’ gradual mastery of their talents.”
— School Library Journal
“The worldbuilding for Leopard society is stellar, packed with details that will enthrall readers bored with the same old magical worlds…Ebulliently original.”
