Bookseller recommendation
“This is a fast moving series with a strong female protagonist. The books move through finding magical powers, using powers, and conquering the antagonist. The female characters in this series are strong and independent. There are all the things are you look for in a good magical fantasy novel: intrigue, suspense, character frustration as they learn to hone their skills, and, of course, magic. This is definitely a great listen! The reader uses distinct voices for each character and is consistently fabulous!”
— Erin • The Roasted Bookery
Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she has albinism. 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 mystical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal well-versed in powerful juju?
