Ikenga
About This Book
Kalaria's police force once had a chief who may have been the finest it ever produced: Nnamdi's father. He had set out to clear the town of the criminal networks that had taken root there. Then he was killed, and many residents assumed the Chief of Chiefs, the most powerful crime boss in the region, was behind it. Nnamdi is twelve, and he has sworn to avenge his father, though he is unsure what a boy his age could possibly do against such enemies. That doubt is upended one night when a secretive late-night meeting leads to an object that grants extraordinary abilities, along with a duty to use them for the greater good. From that moment, nothing about his life stays the same. Nnamdi must figure out how to carry out his mission while learning to control powers he has barely begun to understand. Nnedi Okorafor, a Nigerian-American author known for Binti and Akata Witch, sets this middle-grade superhero story in a Nigerian-inspired world with a young hero at its center.
