Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she has albinism. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing—she is a "free agent" with latent mystical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal well-versed in powerful juju?

Nnedi Okorafor, born to Igbo Nigerian parents in Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 8, 1974, is an author of fantasy and science fiction for both adults and younger readers. Her books include the Tor.com novella Binti, which won the 2015 Hugo and Nebula Awards; the children's book Long Juju Man, which won the 2007-08 Macmillan Writer's Prize for Africa; and the novels Who Fears Death (World Fantasy Award winner) and Akata Warrior (Lodestar and Locus Award winner). She is an associate professor of creative writing and literature at the University at Buffalo.

Better known as the goddess Bilquis on the Starz series American Gods, Nigerian-born actress Yetide Badaki has been seen performing all around the world. With an MFA in theater from Illinois State University, she moved on to win acclaim in many notable theaters in Chicago, including the famed Victory Gardens Theater. Now in LA, Yetide continues to act on stage as well as work in film and television. Her other television credits include ABC's Lost, the Fox show Touch, and Criminal Minds on CBS. Her film credits include Cardinal X, The Buried Girl, and A Chance of Rain.
