Summary:
Onyeka has a lot of hair, the kind that makes strangers stop in the street and her peers whisper behind her back. At least she has Cheyenne, her best friend, who couldn₂t care less what other people think. Still, Onyeka has always felt uncomfortable with her vibrant curls⁵until the day Cheyenne almost drowns and Onyeka₂s hair takes on a life of its own, inexplicably pulling Cheyenne from the water. At home, Onyeka₂s mother tells her the shocking truth: Onyeka₂s psycho-kinetic powers make her a Solari, one of a secret group of people with super powers unique to Nigeria. Her mother quickly whisks her off to the Academy of the Sun, a school in Nigeria where Solari are trained. But Onyeka and her new friends at the academy soon have to put their powers to the test as they find themselves embroiled in a momentous battle between truth and lies.
