Efua Traoré Master Storyteller
Efua Traoré knows just how to draw you into a story. She makes you forget the world around you and transports you into her world. A world so wonderfully crafted with interwoven facts of Nigerian life and stunning fantasy fiction. Yet again I find myself completely under her spell turning page after page desperately searching for the answers.
This is Efua Traoré debut YA Fiction – I’ve adored her middle grade books. Recommended age is from 12 years + for Sister Spirit. Check out my review below of Efua Traoré’s middle grade sensation The House of Shells below.
Sister Spirit Synopsis
Tara is a 16 year old adopted girl living in the UK who begins to have strange dreams. She’s drawn to a place in Nigeria and her adoptive Dad takes her as she seeks answers about who she is and who calls for her in the night.
Tara soon enrolls in a Nigerian boarding school where the questions of who she is take a tighter hold and threaten to end her life just like what happened to her birth mother.
The first two thirds of the book very much have the feel of an upper end middle grade yet as you enter the final third things take a much darker twist. It’s a brilliant, can’t put it down read, just like Efua Traoré’s other incredible books. I highly recommend reading.
