I like this book!
Nnamdi is a 12 year old Nigerian boy, whose chief of police father has just been killed by the local crime lord. Nnamdi and his mother have been struggling during their year of mourning. On the evening of the one year memorial, Nnamdi follows a man away from the party, into a deserted area. The man turns out to be the spirit of his father, and he gives Nnamdi a mysterious gift.
I don’t usually read YA Fantasy, but my children do. I read the First Look to see if this is a book they would like, and it hooked me! The writing is well done, and you can feel Nnamdi’s grief at the loss of his father. I’m anxious to see how the story ends.
