Nnedi Okorafor's acclaimed first novel for middle-grade children introduces a boy who can access super powers with the help of the magical Ikenga.

Nnamdi's father was a good chief of police, perhaps the best Kalaria had ever had. He was determined to root out the criminals that had invaded the town. But then he was murdered, and most people believed the Chief of Chiefs, most powerful of the criminals, was responsible. Nnamdi has vowed to avenge his father, but he wonders what a 12-year-old boy can do. Until a mysterious nighttime meeting, the gift of a magical object that enables super powers, and a charge to use those powers for good changes his life forever. How can he fulfill his mission? How will he learn to control his newfound powers?

Award-winning Nnedi Okorafor, acclaimed for her Akata novels, introduces a new and engaging hero in her first novel for middle-grade listeners set against a richly textured background of contemporary Nigeria.

This is an interesting tale. I think it is a great preteen/ teen book. It deals with a preteen boys struggle with grief and tragedy. Mostly it’s a comic book-like story with depth.

Hero origin story!

Loved the narrator, and the story was a perfect middle-grades drama for comic fans: bad guys aplenty, and good intentions that sometimes go awry

good middle school book for comic fans
