I love this series. The characters are amazing and I can't get enough of them. I was so happy to read this short story about Sunny and Sasha taking a trip to Chicago. The car ride was hilarious. I truly loved every minute of this story as it reminded me of the series I adore.

I heard this story alluded to in one of the books, and am so glad to get a burst of a story from this world again!

A GLIMPSE INTO THE SERIES

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

The author has written a short story based on the characters of his science fiction and fantasy Nsibidi scripts series.

The book series features friends Sasha and Sunny who live in Nigeria. They have special powers that allow them to see lots more than the average person. In this short story, the two friends land at O'Hare Airport in Chicago. They go on a short jaunt to visit the highlights of Chicago. Readers are treated to a tour of familiar sights seen through their unfamiliar eyes.

The book can be enjoyed by those who have not read books in the series but will probably whet their appetite to learn more about life in Nigeria and the mysterious powers they possess.

The series is recommended for ages twelve and older but this book is appropriate for younger children as well.

A fun short

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2022

I enjoyed seeing Sunny and Sasha on a short adventure. This gives a good glimpse of the world, and adds a bit of flavor. Since it is a short story, it's mostly fluff, but it was fun.

Leopards tour Chicago

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2022

This short story tells of two friends from Africa on a visit with family to visit family in Chicago. With the help of juju powder and magic they take a tour of the Sears Tower and with the help of a mysterious Network of "special" taxis they get a tour of lake Michigan actually traveling in the water.

I kind of wish Sunny was with Orlu rather than Sasha but Sasha, after all, was raised in the US of A.
I've seen the Peregrine falcons (my people call them 'lukana'a') up on the Sears Tower (before it was renamed) but not the 'night birds.' Probably just was well. I didn't have any popcorn.
I'm glad Sunny realized she was wrong: there is no way the US is more civilized than Nigeria.
