Ikenga is a wonderful diverse book to add to your middle grade collection. I really enjoyed the character driven action in this book and the entire very very unique plot. The plot centers around a small city in Africa with a boy whose father has just been murdered, assumingly by a gang that has members with all sorts of super villain names and unique powers. Our main hero loves super hero comics, and when a vision of his dad brings him an Ikenga, he find himself turning into a hulk like shadow man with the power to bring down all the members of the gang, but can he gain control of these powers?

I highly recommend to fans of Black stories, fantasy readers, Marvel and DC fans, and those looking for something unique.
