![]() ![]() When I saw this middle grade fantasy novel about a girl with vines for hair, I was instantly hooked. ![]() Why did I read this book: First, I need to read more diverse SFF – not just featuring diverse characters, but written by diverse authors. Standalone or series: Standalone novel (although I believe The Shadow Speaker is set in the same world) Only Zahrah can save him, but to do so she’ll have to face her worst fears alone, including the very thing that makes her different. He pushes her to investigate, edging them both closer and closer to danger. But then something begins to happen-something that definitely marks Zahrah as different-and the only person she can tell is Dari. Only Dari, her best friend, isn’t afraid of her. Others think she’s different-they fear her. Zahrah Tsami doesn’t know anything about that. In the Ooni Kingdom, children born dada-with vines growing in their hair-are rumored to have special powers. Genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Middle Grade Today, Thea tackles middle grade science fantasy novel Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor!Īuthor: Nnedi Okorafor (originally credited as Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu) What better way to snap out of a reading fugue than to take a mini-vacation into the past? We came up with the idea towards the end of 2012, when both Ana and Thea were feeling exhausted from the never-ending inundation of New and Shiny (and often over-hyped) books. Old School Wednesdays is a weekly Book Smuggler feature. ![]()
