Onyeka and the Heroes of the Dawn

Onyeka and her superpowered friends set off to England on a rescue mission in this third and final installment of "well-crafted fantasy fun" (Kirkus Reviews) in the Onyeka middle grade trilogy, perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, The Marvellers, and X-Men.

Solari--children with superpowers--have always been native to Nigeria, but Onyeka and her friends have been alerted to one hidden in England. Tasked with retrieving the young Solari, they successfully complete their mission, arriving safe and sound back at the Academy of the Sun with Tobi in tow.

Tobi's identity and superpower remain a mystery, until a breadcrumb trail leads Onyeka to the truth. But someone else has uncovered the secret, and unlike Onyeka, they don't have Tobi's best interests at heart. Can our superhero save the day once again?
