Yetide Badaki and Nnedi Okorafor are an awesome author and narrator team — I loved hearing Yetide narrate Akata Witch, a story about discovering magic and growing up in Nigeria. It’s about Sunny, a girl who is Igbo American and albino and just found out she’s a Leopard person (magic!). She has hilarious new friends and no-nonsense teachers who are helping her learn to control her juju. I loved that Yetide was able to make the soccer games just as dramatic as the scenes where Sunny and her friends are fighting using their magic.

Listen to the sound clip and definitely check out the audiobook!
