Solari—children with superpowers—have always been native to Nigeria, but Onyeka and her friends have been alerted to one hidden in England. Tasked with retrieving the young Solari, they successfully complete their mission, arriving safe and sound back at the Academy of the Sun with Tobi in tow.
Tobi's identity and superpower remain a mystery, until a breadcrumb trail leads Onyeka to the truth. But someone else has uncovered the secret, and unlike Onyeka, they don't have Tobi's best interests at heart. Can our superhero save the day once again?

Onyeka faces new challenges with her friends and a mysterious boy in this third series entry. Following the thorough defeat of Dr. D�y�nb�, Onyeka, a British Nigerian girl with superpowers, is ready to ease back into the steady rhythm of schoolwork and missions with the Nchebe, the guardians of the Academy of the Sun. Onyeka attends this school for Solari, who are genetically enhanced humans. A poorly executed rescue mission reflects some rocky relationships: Guardians Niy� and Zahrah constantly squabble, the �m�nira (new arrivals formerly labeled Rogues) struggle to adjust to academy life, and now Onyeka has been asked to be a buddy for Tobi, the 8-year-old Solari boy rescued from England and brought to Nigeria. Aunt Naomi (or Principal Uduike, as everyone else calls her) holds an election for Ol�r�, or Nchebe team leader. Onyeka's dad, Aunt Naomi, and teammates Adanna and Hassan all encourage her to run for Ol�r�. As the pressures mount from all sides, Onyeka worries if she can live up to everyone's expectations, especially her own. She focuses on Tobi, who was isolated by Dr. D�y�nb� for unknown reasons. Okogwu satisfies yet again: The political and historical layers of Nigeria's past and imagined present complement Onyeka's emotional journey, and the concepts of enemy and ally evolve as each character's motives become clear. Readers will hope to see more of Onyeka. Well-crafted fantasy fun. (pronunciation guide, glossary, Nigerian Pidgin English guide) (Fantasy. 9-13)COPYRIGHT(2024) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
