Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she has albinism. She's a terrific athlete but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in.

And then she discovers something amazing - she is a "free agent" with latent mystical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of students studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal well-versed in powerful juju?

I enjoyed how the magic was based in African lore, as was the location of the story. The narrator did a great job with the accents too.

The narrative style took some time to get used to - I realized how click baity the books I read are when I kept expecting chapters to mean something sinister or characters to die just because they were mentioned in nice scenes. The story just - flows - here. And it’s interesting and vivid and memorable.

Wonderful Listen
