SERWA BOATENG'S GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT AND MAYHEM

Soneela Nankani's talents are in full force in this monstrous and magical fantasy series. Serwa has trained her whole life as a slayer of Ghanaian vampires and monsters. Then she discovers her parents have a big secret--she's actually an obayifo, a vampire witch. Nankani's dynamic voice and boundless energy match all of the action and Serwa's roiling emotions. She's now in hiding and training in black magic with her obayifo aunt, who is determined to fight for their freedom. Nankani smoothly voices the Twi language that is woven into the story and makes each lively character distinct through rich accents and varied tones. She conveys all the drama as Serwa fights the urge to drink blood, plans a dangerous heist, realizes she has a huge crush, and travels to the underworld. E.E.C.
