Great middle grade novel. My 10 year old loved it and we are reading the series now. Definitely will continue

I will try to keep it as spoiler free as I can. As a major X-men fan do you know how stoked I was to read this? Having magical hair?! Shoot if I had that I would probably complain less about the hassle to do my hair.

Like Onyeka, my hair was an insecurity for me growing up, but for different reasons than her.

You do need to read Book 1 because Book 2 takes off right where Book 1 ended.

The author does an amazing job of weaving an action, Mystery, and fantasy tale for this middle grade read.

I wish there was this type of book for me when I was younger, but I'm happy my kids will have this representation now.

This is such a fun, adventurous yet challenging story! I loved to see the BIPOC representation and the important themes of self-acceptance, being brave, and realizing one's own strength to protect those you love. A great sequel from this author! I have donated my own physical copy to my local library to ensure that middlegrade readers have this to read.

I loved this book. The main character really stepped up. Not on to save herself and her new friends but her parents. Her mom went missing. Father might be still alive. All while her magic might be killing her.

Of course she saves the day. I am obsessed with the magic being tied to her hair. So great. I’ve purchased every book for my students

I loved this series! The book is very beautifully written and extremely relatable. The lessons were top tier.

I have been very sick lately, and all I have been in the mood for is to read super entertaining stories that takes my mind of things for a little bit and this story just did that wonderfully.

This book was just the perfect distraction for me because it allowed me to get stuck into the world of the book for a few hours and I very much appreciated that.

This was just the kind of entertainement that I was looking for and it really worked for me.

This is a good follow up sequel to the first Onyeka. I like that the adults are not all evil or nincompoops. I am looking forward to the next adventure.
