![]() Sunny lives in a very dangerous world, with death a constant threat. ![]() I’m almost tempted to call it a subplot because it’s mostly treated so casually, but it does play a crucial role in the climax of the novel. However, there’s also an overarching plot about a ritual killer that only Sunny and her friends can stop. Mostly the novel is about Sunny and her friends-Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha-working with their mentors and teachers, and as Sunny learns more about the Leopard world, the reader learns along with her. Sunny has to keep it secret from her family. She becomes friends with other Leopard kids, but they all come from Leopard families, so they’ve been raised in the culture and can talk with their parents about it. ![]() ![]() As if she doesn’t already feel enough like she doesn’t fit in, she learns that she’s a Leopard person, which means she is capable of juju and other magical type things. Akata Witch is the story of Sunny, an albino Igbo girl who recently moved to Nigeria from the United States. ![]()
