Black Panther meets Percy Jackson in this action-packed and
empowering middle-grade superhero series about a British-Nigerian
girl who learns that her Afro hair has psychokinetic powers. Soon
to be a feature film with a major streamer! I close my eyes, trying
to push the power bubbling in me back down . . . Hairbands snap as
my hair shoots out like superfine arrows, tearing through
everything in its path. Onyeka has a lot of hair - the kind that
makes strangers stop in the street. She's always felt insecure
about her vibrant curls, until she makes an important discovery:
she can control her hair with her mind! Her mother quickly whisks
her off to the Academy of the Sun, a school in Nigeria where Solari
- children with superpowers - are trained. But Onyeka and her new
friends at the Academy soon have to put their powers to the test as
they find themselves caught up in an epic battle . . . one that
puts the future of all Solari at risk. 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
of The Girl of Ink and Stars 'Brilliant characters, action-packed
plot, heartfelt themes of identity, family and friendship. A
DAZZLING story about finding your power.' Sophie Anderson, author
of The House with Chicken Legs '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 'Fast-paced, action-packed and empowering. Tola
Okogwu's storytelling shines so bright you'll want the next
instalment immediately.' A. F. Steadman, author of Skandar and the
Unicorn Thief 'An inspiring, original and exciting roller coaster
of a book.' Katie Tsang, co-author of Dragon Mountain '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

thrilling, magical page-turner. Children will fall in love with
this story.' Jenny McLachlan, author of The Land of Roar 'Wildly
fun and a huge breath of invigorating fresh air.' Sam Copeland,

An entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable
family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph Chloe Deal is
observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front
Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he
sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his
shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never
her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets
to mow the lawn, again. So when Chloe starts a school project about
her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her
family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and
Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school.
Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house,
her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?
