Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun by Tọlá Okogwu
5.0
4.5* X-Men meets Amari and the Night Brothers in the first book in what is set to be a game-changing new middle grade series. Okyeka and the Academy of the Sun is both an action packed superhero story and an empowering celebration of Black hair and it's fabulous.
With exciting twists, kickass action sequences, heartwarming friendships and loveable characters, I'm devastated that I don't already have book two in my hands. This was truly fantastic and a wonderful and necessary addition to the middle grade sci-fi/fantasy genre.
