Description
Sunny Nwazue—an American-born Nigerian girl with albinism—has always felt like she doesn’t quite fit, especially under the harsh glare of the sun. When she discovers she can sense and wield magic, she’s pulled into a hidden world of “leopard people” and the secret Leopard Society, where belonging comes with rules, rituals, and unexpected friendships. As Sunny and her companions learn to navigate this new life, they’re drawn into a dangerous mystery that tests their courage and loyalty. Blending West African folklore with a fast, emotionally grounded coming-of-age story, Nnedi Okorafor delivers a vivid, original fantasy that explores identity, community, and what it means to claim your power.
