BOOK 1 is ONYENKA AND THE ACADEMY OF THE SUN by TOLA OKOGWU: When a trip to the local swimming pool results in the near drowning of her best friend, a young girl is surprised to save the day… But infact she can’t fully claim credit for helping her floundering friend – it’s really her unruly afro hair that comes to the rescue! When her mum discloses that she’s actually magically gifted, the two travel to Nigeria and our heroine joins a school full of other magically able children. Can this young mage master her powers, make new friends and find her missing father? Or will her hair and the world of magic get the better of her first?!

BOOK 2 is THE UNMORROW CURSE by JASMINE RICHARDS: When two new friends discover a famous missing newsreader bound to a tree in their local woods, they know something strange is going on. Things get down-right bizarre when they realise that the newsreader is actually a Norse Goddess and is one of the seven day guardians who keep time in order. Without her, the world is forced to relive the same Saturday over and over again. Can two ordinary children defeat the gods and awaken the other Guardians to break the curse? Or will all of humanity be stuck in the Saturday loop forever?
