Thirteen-year-old Sunny Nwazue doesn't fit anywhere. She is albino, and she has a special gift: she can see into the future. But when she meets Orlu, her classmate, she becomes part of an exciting new realm of strange creatures and dark secrets - a world where your worst defect is actually your greatest asset.
What Sunny Saw in the Flames transports the reader to a magical place where nothing is quite as it seems. Born in New York, but living in Aba, Nigeria, thirteen-year-old Sunny is understandably a little lost. She is albino. Her eyes are so sensitive to the sun that she has to wait until evening to play football. Apart from being good at the beautiful game, she has a special gift: she can see into the future. At school, she soon becomes part of a special quartet with unique powers. Together, Sunny, Orlu, Chichi and Sasha explore this exciting realm of strange creatures and dark secrets. The good news is that in this world, your worst defect is actually your greatest asset. But there's a catch. Someone is kidnapping children and maiming or killing them. The group is asked to help track down the criminal. Will Sunny be able to overcome the killer with powers stronger than her own, or will the future she saw in the flames become reality? Nnedi Okorafor's novel is an absorbing coming of age fantasy novel, ideal for readers aged 12-16.
