Àkànní

About this book

A young warrior in training and a team of unlikely-heroes-turned-friends set out to uncover a conspiracy that threatens their entire solar system--and challenges their idea of honor. This epic space-based graphic novel for 8-12 year olds is perfect for fans of Star Wars and Iyanu on Cartoon Network! All her life, Àkànní has dreamed of being an onija--brave in the face of danger, strong in the face of opposition, and honorable in the face of injustice. And as a student at the prestigious Onija Institute, she's on her way to becoming part of the elite force that defends her solar system. But when a surprise attack decimates her home planet and the government refuses to respond, Àkànní no longer knows who to trust. She rushes home to Asa to search for survivors--and there meets a misfit group of rebels seeking answers. When they discover evidence that the attack on Asa was just the beginning, it's up to Àkànní and her new friends to open the eyes of those in power to the real threat of war.
