This is the first book I have read from this author. I love the cover, depicting a boy holding a figurine in his hands with a spirit monster in the background. Thank you bookishfirst and Viking books for the gifted copy.

𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: This is the first middle grade book I have read in almost 20 years. I definitely enjoyed reading this book. This is the first book I have ever read from a BIPOC author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about a different culture, which was very refreshing. The writing style of Nnedi was unique, and unlike any other middle grade book I have read. It was a lot of fun learning about the origin of the Ikenga, and what powers could be possessed by it. I am definitely interested in wanting to read more books by this author. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a middle grade novel with unique elements.
