Akata Woman (Vol. 3 Akata Witch)

From award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, Akata Woman is a New York Times bestseller and the third book in the series that began with Akata Witch . The first volume in the series was named one of the 100 best books for young adults and one of the 100 best fantasy books of all time by the prestigious Times magazine.

This book is full of juju. It's wild, lively, and enigmatic—and it's interested in you. It's also about Sunny finding her place in the world, even if she should think about it more carefully. It's about inherited debt, responsibility, and taking risks that might be better avoided…

Trying to find herself after the battle with Ekwensu, the trial and Udide's request, Sunny is faced with a new and enormous threat when the Great Spider Artist gives the girls an ultimatum: they must return to her within seven days what was stolen from her so long ago.

However, such a powerful and threatening magical object wouldn't be in the Full Place. No, Udide's creation is safely guarded in the far reaches of the Vast, where the Oha clan boys are not welcome and the risks to Sunny and Chi-Chi are unimaginable.

Together, the four will leave Leopardo Bate, completely abandoning the Full Place, to venture into the Vastness, into parallel universes and incredible worlds that hold dangerous secrets and frightening creatures.

Prepare your juju knife and keep it handy, because the dangers are many and so are the adventures!
