ADEYEMI, Tomi

Adeyemi's epic fantasy delivers an Afrocentric world of jungles and oceans, leopanairs and coconut boats. Consider for high school and public libraries.

When magic suddenly disappears from the kingdom of Orïsha, King Saran seizes the chance to murder all the maji (rare and powerful magic-wielders), leaving alive only the divîners (children born to be maji but too young to have yet developed their powers)...

This extraordinary literary work offers a refreshing YA fantasy with an all—West African cast of characters that should be on every shelf.
