The epic second book in the action-packed and empowering
middle-grade superhero series. Perfect for 8+ fans of Percy
Jackson, Amari and the Night Brothers and Black Panther. Soon to be
a feature film with a major streamer! Power bursts through my body,
and I gasp as my hair shoots out like an avenging sword. It slashes
a line through the wooden decking of the walkway. With a deafening
crack, the wood breaks apart, splintering with the force of the
impact. Having uncovered head teacher Dr Doyinbo's hidden agenda
behind the Academy of the Sun, Onyeka and her friends are on the
run. But they've got bigger problems to worry about - they
desperately need to find a way to restore Niyi's Ike superpower and
they need to locate Onyeka's missing parents. When their last safe
house is uncovered, Onyeka turns to the only potential allies they
have left; the Rogues, a group of rebels that have been trying to
expose Dr Doyinbo's lies for years. 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? Praise for Onyeka and the
Academy of the Sun: 'Exhilarating and original, Onyeka is the
superhero you've been waiting for.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author
