![]() Okorafor’s writing is consistently refreshing for me, as a Midwestern White Girl. My mother always said that silence was the best answer to a fool. After all, something strange has started to happen to her, and she doesn’t know who she can trust with the secret. But when Dari finds a book on the Forbidden Greeny Jungle, Zahrah isn’t certain any longer if she can blindly follow his adventurous side. ![]() She has Dari, her best friend, to stand up for her and support her. Her classmates mock her for being different, but Zahrah just tries to ignore them. Zahrah was born with dada-locks, dreadlocks with vines growing through them, unusual in her Ooni community. I admit I was uncertain what to expect, and highly enjoyed what I got out of it.įunny how all things people don’t understand seem to be ‘cursed’. I found it during our recent move and decided it was time! And what better way than by nominating for my Science Fiction Fantasy book club. I received Zahrah the Windseeker during our Kids Lit Book Club holiday book exchange in 2018, but never made time to read it. Both left me thirsty for more of Okorafor’s writing, so I’m not surprised to see these both expanded into full series. ![]() I’ve read her award-winning novella Binti and her YA novel Akata Witc h when they were both still stand alone. ![]() Recently, Bill T he Australian Legend reminded me of Nnedi Okorafor’s writing, and that in mid-2019 I had read her debut novel, Zahrah the Windseeker. ![]()
