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.
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.
