Adanna stirs again and I freeze until she goes still. I can barely make her out in the dim light of the room, but the steady rise and fall of her lumpy form reassures me and my body relaxes. The soft buzzing of a stray mosquito near my ear pulls me out of my thoughts and I slip out of bed. They were never a problem at the academy because of the repellent tech embedded across the campus. Here at the farmhouse, they’re a total menace, but at least malaria is no longer a worry. Exhilarating and original, Onyeka is the superhero you’ve been waiting for.’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars It’s pacey, rich and empowering. I loved how Onyeka, with the help of unlikely allies and an old friend, learns to use her superpower – her afro hair. It feels odd hearing the name out loud. We’ve all been avoiding saying it for weeks. Hold on…. I lift startled eyes to Niyì’s and an answering fear greets me.

My feet move soundlessly as I make my way to the door, passing Adanna on the way. Her locs fan across her pillow, a dark contrast against the stark white fabric… just like Chidinma, the child in my dream. Adanna’s face is creased into a tight grimace. A reminder that even in sleep, none of us can find any kind of peace. Not from the degenerative disease that kills Solari if they continue to use their powers, nor from the constant worry that Dr. Dòyìnbó will find us now we know his true plans. With a final glance at Adanna, I quietly leave the room and head to the kitchen.A rich and gripping story of discovering that your greatest power can come from within. I loved it!' Lisa Thompson, author of The Goldfish Boy Having recently finished Tolá Okogwu's first installment of Onyeka I was eager to begin Onyeka and the Rise of the Rebels. Book 2 is brilliant, yet another middle grade wonder for readers of around 8 years plus. A drop-off point at the Royal Festival Hall (30 metres) has been created for visitors who are unable to walk from alternative car parks. Our Access Scheme While there is at least one more book coming, ONYEKA AND THE RISE OF THE REBELS does contain a series arc closure (I believe the series was first sold as a duology with additional books sold later, like DRAGON CITY is only book 3 of 5 of Dragon Realm but brings a story arc to an end.)

The war is lost,” she says in an urgent voice. “You should leave the village while you still can. There’s a bus departing soon to take people to safety.” It felt so real, almost as if it had actually happened. Then I remember Dr. Dòyìnbó’s words and understanding dawns. That wasn’t just a dream I’d experienced; it was one of Dr. Dòyìnbó’s visions. It had felt stretched and faded, like an old shoe that Dr. Dòyìnbó had worn too many times before. Only this time, he’d forced me to wear it. But why? Items are left in our cloakrooms at the owner’s risk, and we cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage, from any cause, to these items. We're cash-free When her best friend Cheyenne has a freak accident at the pool not even Onyeka can explain what happened. Her mother knows and knows it’s time they must return to Nigeria, even with the danger this poses. They must find Onyeka’s father.

Reviews

Joining forces, will the two groups be able to defeat their shared nemesis, or is there a new danger on the horizon for the Solari? Next to Dr. Dòyìnbó, I notice a boy wearing an academy uniform. His face is turned slightly to the side, but I can see his expression is blank, almost as though he’s not quite here. Something about him feels familiar though. An incredible story that reinvents the concept of a school for magical kids. So inspiring and creatively original.’ L. D. Lapinski, author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency Following on from ONYEKA AND THE ACADEMY OF THE SUN, Onyeka and her friends are on the run. This means the book takes place in many more settings than the previous book, as the characters hop from safe house to safe house, and see some of the natural wonders of Nigeria.
