(2) YA Sunny, albino daughter of Nigerian parents, is used to being called a witch; even so, it's a surprise to learn she is one. Along with her coven, she must take on Okotoko the Black Hat, a serial killer who preys on children. Sunny's world of pepper soup and afrobeat music, the audacious personalities, and Okorafor's lively writing make this offering stand out.
