Ikenga

"When Nnamdi’s father, the chief of police in their Nigerian town, is killed, Nnamdi vows revenge. But he’s just a 12-year-old kid! Then he’s given an ikenga, a magical object that turns Nnamdi into a superhero known as “The Man.” How will Nnamdi wield his new power? Young readers will be drawn in by magic, adventure, depictions of vibrant West African culture and fun villain names like Mama Go-Slow and Bad Market. But Ikenga also offers subtle yet important lessons about truth, power and the justice system. (For ages 10 to 12)"
