Black Panther meets X-Men in this action-packed and empowering middle grade adventure about a British Nigerian girl who learns that her Afro hair has psychokinetic powers--perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers! Onyeka has a lot of hairƯ--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 couldnt care less what other people think. Still, Onyeka has always felt uncomfortable with her vibrant curlsuntil the day Cheyenne almost drowns and Onyekas hair takes on a life of its own, inexplicably pulling Cheyenne from the water. At home, Onyekas mother tells her the shocking truth: Onyekas psycho-kinetic powers make her a Solari, one of a secret group of people with super powers 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 --Provided by publisher.
