Nnamdi is a 12 year old boy who is granted power, not unlike those of the superheros he reads about in comics, by an Ikenga. Nnamdi knows that this power will allow him to avenge his father's murder and save his beloved town from corruption. He must learn that rage and strength aren't enough to fix the injustice in the world.
It's a wonderful middle grade novel that I enjoyed listening to. The narrator does a wonderful job giving each character their own voice.
