Den tolvårige Sunny bor i Nigeria, men hun er født som amerikaner. Hendes træk er afrikanske, men hun er albino. Hun er en fantastisk atlet, men kan ikke gå ud i solen for at spille fodbold. Der synes ikke at være noget sted, hvor hun passer ind. Og så opdager hun noget fantastisk – hun er en "fri agent" med latent magisk kraft. Snart er hun en del af en kvartet af magi-studenter, der studerer det synlige og usynlige og lærer at ændre virkeligheden. Men vil det være nok til at hjælpe dem, når de bliver bedt om at fange en professionel kriminel, der også kan magi?

Richard S. ★★★★★

As a Nigerian who grew up with the same sun restrictions, seeing the main character's albinism handled with such authenticity felt like finally being seen. The way the author blends local folklore with a fast-paced adventure had me turning pages past my bedtime.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I read this with my daughter and we both got hooked on Sunny’s struggle between two worlds — the albino detail felt so specific and real. The pacing kept us turning pages late into the night.

Harper ★★★★★

I was immediately hooked by Sunny's struggle with albinism in Nigeria—it's a perspective I've never seen in a middle-grade story. The way the book weaves magic into her everyday challenges feels completely natural and keeps the pages turning.
