Sweet Reads Book Club: Akata Witch

Born in America with albinism, twelve-year-old Sunny Nwazue moved to Nigeria when she was nine. Bullied, mocked, and beaten up by her classmates, she struggles with strange visions as she tries to fit in—until her classmate Orlu introduces her to the Leopard Society in Nnedi Okorafor’s Akata Witch.
