AKATA WARRIOR Akata Witch, Book 2

Narrator Yetide Badaki’s dynamic voice returns with this story of Sunny, an Igbo and American albino girl with the juju needed to save humanity. Badaki enlivens Sunny’s character with a bright American accent and gives her friends varied Nigerian- and American-sounding voices. Continuing on from AKATA WITCH, Sunny, Chichi, Orlu, and Sasha are growing as scholars, pushing the boundaries of the rules governing the magical Leopard People and coming full circle to challenge Sunny’s prophetic dream of the apocalypse at the start of series. Badaki’s animated voice is especially impressive during the dramatic encounters Sunny has with giant spiders, lake monsters, a djinn, and supreme beings. Listeners will dive into this story of magic, fantasy, identity, and destiny. E.E.C.
