"We felt this one. A powerful, relatable story packed with culture, adventure, and the magic of the Orishas."

Thoughts on the Book: As people who grew up in the UK, we completely related to Koku’s frustrations throughout the book. From the cultural representation - names, food, and traditions - to the way Maria weaves in the Yoruba pantheon, this book feels so authentic. She also does an incredible job of highlighting sickle cell in a way that’s rarely seen in fantasy. Why We Recommend It: If you’re a fan of Percy Jackson, you’ll love this! It’s fast-paced, filled with Yoruba mythology, and has a main character you’ll truly root for. This book is such a fantastic read, especially for teen readers - it’s empowering, adventurous, and beautifully written.

Ancient demons. Shape-shifting sidekicks. Sword-swallowing assassins. Welcome to Olori.... When 13-year-old Koku Akanbi accidentally unleashes a demon on a school trip, he has no idea what he's set in motion. Suddenly Koku is whisked away from his life in London and transported to his family's homeland of Olori, a mysterious place in which darkness is about to disappear forever - along with the magical creatures living within it. Accompanied by two super-powered sidekicks, Koku embarks on a mission to save Olori - and unlock his own extraordinary power... Set in a unique magical world inspired by West African mythology, Koku Akanbi and the Heart of Midnight is the start of an unmissable new fantasy adventure series for fans of Marvel and Percy Jackson.
