If You Like Nnedi Okorafor Books, You’ll Love…

Akata Witch has been called the Nigerian Harry Potter. The story follows a 12-year-old named Sunny growing up in Nigeria. She was born in America and doesn’t quite fit in. She has African features, but albino looks which cause her to be unable to play in the sun. There is nowhere that she fits in until she learns about her latent magical powers. This leads to her becoming a part of a group of magic students, studying that which can’t be seen and learning to change reality. The kids are tasked with catching a magical criminal, but are they ready?

Remote Control tells the story of a young girl who is the adopted daughter of Death himself. Now she too has the touch of death, capable of taking down a town with a single glance. She walks the earth with her fox companion as they look for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers.
