A year ago, Sunny Nwazue, an American-born Nigerian girl, was inducted into the secret Leopard Society. As she began to develop her magical powers, Sunny learned she had been chosen to lead a dangerous mission to avert an apocalypse, brought about by the terrifying masquerade Ekwensu. Now, stronger, feistier, and a bit older, Sunny is studying with her mentor, Sugar Cream, and struggling to unlock the secrets in her strange Nsibidi book.  

Eventually, Sunny knows she must confront her destiny. With the support of her Leopard Society friends Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha, and of her spirit face, Anyanwu, she will travel through worlds both visible and invisible to the mysterious town of Osisi, where she will fight a climactic battle to save humanity.  

Much-honored Nnedi Okorafor, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy awards, merges today's Nigeria with a unique world she creates. Akata Warrior blends mythology, fantasy, history, and magic into a compelling tale that will keep listeners spellbound.

Critic reviews

“This title is a unique coming of age story, coupling the distinct experience of the cultural duality as both African and African-American.” (BCCB, starred review)

Featured Article: The Best Audiobook Series of All Time by Genre


What makes a good audiobook series? There are as many answers to this question as there are listeners. For some, it might be epic battles. For others, it might be ongoing romantic twists and tensions. For still others, it might be elongated character studies or an in-depth analysis of a particular time and place. But the universal element of a truly great series is that it sticks with you long after the last word. These are our favorites from every major genre.

I just discovered this awesome author and her tales of Sunny. I love, love this series!! So much more than the Harry Potter series, this is the black version, but with much more flavor for both children and adults!! This is a series that children with Brown skin can identify with as well as realize that we belong, even in fantasy, too a world of our own imagination as well!!

It left me wanting to pick up with more. come on audible!! There are tons of voracious black and Brown readers. Let's see more from this author and more authors like her!! Well done, story, characters and narrator!

This book is well written and authentic. The storyline is complex enough to entertain an adult, yet simple enough to be followed and understood by precocious children. I am reading this entire series ine after the other and I have not veen disappointed, yet.

Another good one
