Summary

Black Panther meets Percy Jackson in this action-packed superhero series about a British-Nigerian girl who learns that her Afro hair has psychokinetic powers. Soon to be a feature film with a major streamer! Don't miss the second book in the series, Onyeka and the Rise of the Rebels.

Onyeka has a lot of hair–the kind that makes strangers stop in the street. When she makes the important discovery that she can control her hair with her mind, she's whisked off to the Academy of the Sun, a school in Nigeria where Solari–children with superpowers–are trained.

But Onyeka and her new friends at the Academy soon have to put their powers to the test as they find themselves caught up in an epic battle . . . one that puts the future of all Solari at risk.

Quite good actually!

I thought it was a great relatable story, even at my age of 30 I resonate with what it was like having an overprotective mother growing up and I thought the reader did well overall, it’s not easy playing so many characters so well done to her. The accents were manageable but I was a little disappointed in the pidgin and the little Yoruba she did have use though it was not easy on the ears at all.

Looking forward to book 2 sha

A riveting story!!!!!!!!

Loved the story as a whole. The introduction of characters the expression of culture through food, language and people. The relatability of all the characters and how there are elements of yourself in each one of them.

A must read!!!!!
