Zahrah the windseeker - nnedi okorafor-mbachu

In the Ooni Kingdom, children born dada--with vines growing in their hair--are rumored to have special powers.

Zahrah Tsami doesnt know anything about that.

She feels normal.

Others think shes different--they fear her.

Only Dari, her best friend, isnt afraid of her.

But then something begins to happen--something that definitely marks Zahrah as different--and the only person she can tell is Dari.

He pushes her to investigate, edging them both closer and closer to danger.

Until Daris life is on the line.

Only Zahrah can save him, but to do so shell have to face her worst fears alone, including the very thing that makes her different.
