NAMED A 2023 ALA NOTABLE CHILDREN’S RECORDING!
Black Panther meets X-Men in this “fast-paced, action-packed, and empowering” (A. F. Steadman, New York Times bestselling author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief) middle grade adventure about a British Nigerian girl who learns that her Afro hair has psychokinetic powers—perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers, The Marvellers, and Rick Riordan!
Onyeka has a lot of hair—the kind that makes strangers stop in the street and her peers whisper behind her back. At least she has Cheyenne, her best friend, who couldn’t care less what other people think. Still, Onyeka has always felt insecure about her vibrant curls…until the day Cheyenne almost drowns and Onyeka’s hair takes on a life of its own, inexplicably pulling Cheyenne from the water.
At home, Onyeka’s mother tells her the shocking truth: Onyeka’s psychokinetic powers make her a Solari, one of a secret group of people with superpowers unique to Nigeria. Her mother quickly whisks her off to the Academy of the Sun, a school in Nigeria where Solari are trained. But Onyeka and her new friends at the academy soon have to put their powers to the test as they find themselves embroiled in a momentous battle between truth and lies…

Historia
Nura longs for the simple pleasure of many things—to wear a beautiful red dupatta or to bite into a sweet gulab. But with her mom hard at work in a run-down sweatshop and three younger siblings to feed, Nura must spend her days earning money by mica mining. But it’s not just the extra rupees in her pocket Nura is after. Local rumor says there’s buried treasure in the mine, and Nura knows that finding it could change the course of her family’s life forever. Her plan backfires when the mines collapse and four kids, including her best friend, Faisal, are claimed dead.

Others, not so much—like not being trusted to learn magic because you might use it to take revenge on an annoying neighbor. All Nic Blake wants is to be a powerful Manifestor like her dad. But before she has a chance to convince him to teach her the gift, a series of shocking revelations and terrifying events launch Nic and two friends on a hunt for a powerful magic tool she’s never heard of...

Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good. So when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet, containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she’s certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton - if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real.

It's the summer before middle school, and 11-year-old Bug's best friend, Moira, has decided the two of them need to use the next few months to prepare. For Moira, this means figuring out the right clothes to wear, learning how to put on makeup, and deciding which boys are cuter in their yearbook photos than in real life. But none of this is all that appealing to Bug, who doesn't particularly want to spend more time trying to understand how to be a girl. Besides, there's something more important to worry about.

The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

I loved it!!!
I'm gonna buy the next one right now! The narrator was absolutely brilliant. as a female who has type 4a/b/c hair I always got it flat ironed or hot combed because wearing my hair natural seemed like such a taboo. Even professional hairstylist would try to convince me to get a relaxer or a texturizer. I wish I had this book growing up.

Power in the hair
I love the reading this book that puts black culture at the center of it for young readers. This female protagonist to get to know her power. It’s fun to watch grow throughout the book. This is definitely something that middle grade readers should experience.

I loved everything about this book. So heart felt, and interesting. It takes a while for the action to pick up, but when it does, it holds your attention.

Honestly this book was a perfect blend of action packed and a road to self-discovery. It encourages us to know that the very thing that we think are our flaws is the very thing that makes us YOUNIQUE! Can’t wait for book 2!!!

Captivating and adventure at every page turn
My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed following Oneyka and her friends through this entire journey! They wanted to listen at home, in the car, during dinner, and before bed. The narration is incredible and the story line had us all hooked from chapter 1 in book 1 to the very end of book 2 which we immediately purchased! Highly recommended!

Excellent Storytelling
I enjoyed the story, the purposed cultural context and references. The language of love toward hair, mother daughter relationships, and the unique gifts. The attachment of one present parent and how she protects her child to the best of her abilities. Excellent storytelling and I want more from this author!
