Lionheart Girl by Yaba Badoe

5.0

A wonderful magical realism/fantasy set in an African village. Sheba comes from a long line of royalty, and her village has always been known as one which provides protection to women in distress. However, Sheba's mother is a powerful force for evil, and Sheba needs to draw out the magic within her in order to make the village safe again. Suitable for year 7's and above.
