Akata Witch

Sunny is a 12 year old African American albino girl living in Nigeria with her family. She soon discovers that she is more than a young girl sensitive to the sun and good at futbol. Sunny is a Leopard “free agent” (someone who comes from non-magical parents) who makes friends with Orlu (fellow student) and Chichi (friend of Orlu).
