An excellent example of a well crafted rite or passage tale. From the start Zahrah is a likeable character, whose trials and tribulations through the book, reveal the depth of her courage, and her ability to do the impossible.

Loved this story
I read this book in less than a day because the story was so compelling. Zahrah was such a compelling character and different in her portrayal of Black girlhood. After reading The Shadowspeaker, I also loved seeing more of Ginen. I’m glad I read one right after the other.

YA SF novel with African folklore. Great for 11-14 year olds (and adults).
