by Nnedi Okorafor (Author)

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST FANTASY AND YOUNG ADULT BOOKS OF ALL TIME - A young Nigerian girl discovers her extraordinary destiny in this heart-pounding tale of finding one's place in the world.

"Jam-packed with mythological wonders."--Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

"There's more imagination on a page of Nnedi Okorafor's work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics."--Ursula K. Le Guin, award-winning author of A Wizard of Earthsea

Sunny Nwazue lives in Nigeria, but she was born in New York City. Her features are West 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. And she has a lot of catching up to do.

Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the invisible and visible, learning to change reality. But just as she's finding her footing, Sunny and her friends are asked by the magical authorities to help track down a career criminal who knows magic too. Will their training be enough to help them against a threat whose powers greatly outnumber theirs?
