From Ibi Zoboi, bestselling, award-winning author of American
Street and co-author of Punching the Air, comes a bold new YA
coming-of-age story, which explores race, feminism, and complicated
family dynamics, about a girl whose father is the leader of a Black
liberation group. The ideal next read for fans of Elizabeth
Acevedo, Jacqueline Woodson, and Roxane Gay. Warrior Princess.
That’s what Nigeria Jones’s father calls her. He has raised her
as part of the Movement, a Black separatist group based in
Philadelphia. Nigeria is homeschooled and vegan and participates in
traditional rituals to connect her and other kids from the group to
their ancestors. But when her mother—the perfect matriarch of
their Movement—disappears, Nigeria’s world is upended. She
finds herself taking care of her baby brother and stepping into a
role she doesn’t want. Nigeria’s mother had secrets. She wished
for a different life for her children, which includes sending her
daughter to a private Quaker school outside of their strict group.
Despite her father’s disapproval, Nigeria attends the school with
her cousin, Kamau, and Sage, who used to be a friend. There, she
begins to flourish and expand her universe. As Nigeria searches for
her mother, she starts to uncover a shocking truth. One that will
lead her to question everything she thought she knew about her life
and her family. From award-winning author Ibi Zoboi comes a
powerful story about discovering who you are in the world—and
fighting for that person—by having the courage to be your own
revolution.
