However, there must have been something to the rule, because Najeeba’s presence on the road changes everything and her family will never be the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall, intimate, up close, and deceptively quiet, this is the beginning of the Kponyungo Sorceress.","brand":"Nnedi Okorafor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47682009497856,"sku":"9780756419998","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/8272\/2048\/files\/BNCImageAPI_10397d4e-f580-4e91-8da4-7916a9f4a2dc.jpg?v=1770839219","url":"https:\/\/thebookloftstjacobs.com\/products\/9780756419998","provider":"The Book Loft St. Jacobs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
