| Abstract | Teenage Sọmadịna searches for her missing twin brother, Jayaike, in the Sacred Forest, while learning to navigate her frightening new magical ability. |
| Abstract | Sọmadịna and her twin brother, Jayaike, are practically the same person: they finish each other's sentences and make each other whole. When the twins come of age, their magical gifts begin to develop, but while Jayaike's powers enchant, Sọmadịna's cause fear to ripple through her town. Always an outsider, Sọmadịna now faces blatant-and dangerous-hostility. And things go from bad to worse when her brother--the one person she trusted--vanishes. Sọmadịna knows that no matter the dangers, she must track him down. Even if it means entering the Sacred Forest. Even if it means grueling, otherworldly travel she may not survive. Even if it means finding the hidden places where those closest to the spirit world don't dare to go. Does Sọmadịna have the strength -within both her body and her soul -- for the trying journey ahead? National Book Award finalist Akwaeke Emezi masterfully weaves a tale of family, identity, and the power of the past, in a world where the extraordinary is ordinary. |
