By Tọlá Okogwu

"Fast-paced, action-packed, and empowering." --A. F. Steadman, New York Times bestselling author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief on Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun

Black Panther meets X-Men in this middle grade adventure trilogy about a British Nigerian girl who learns that her Afro hair has psychokinetic powers--all three books now available together in one paperback boxed set

Onyeka has a lot of hair---the kind that makes strangers stop in the street and her peers whisper behind her back. At least she has Cheyenne, her best friend, who couldn't care less what other people think. Still, Onyeka has always felt insecure about her vibrant curls...until the day Cheyenne almost drowns and Onyeka's hair takes on a life of its own, inexplicably pulling Cheyenne from the water.

At home, Onyeka's mother tells her the shocking truth: Onyeka's psychokinetic powers make her a Solari, one of a secret group of people with superpowers unique to Nigeria. Her mother quickly whisks her off to the Academy of the Sun, a school in Nigeria where Solari are trained. But Onyeka and her new friends at the academy soon have to put their powers to the test as they find themselves embroiled in a momentous battle between truth and lies...
