A brand-new, epic sci-fi action-adventure where friendship is tested to the limits from bestselling author Tl Okogwu. Perfect for 8+ fans of the Onyeka series, Star Wars and Marvel!
When a powerful group of aliens threaten Earth, a mysterious species called the Onni offers humanity hope. But theres a catch. Ninety-one children from across the planet must first prove their worth by competing in a series of trials set on a distant planet.
For twelve-year-old Kola, who has long dreamed of going into space, its the chance of a lifetime. But once aboard the Onni mothership, Kola finds himself thrown into a misfit team of Champions.
As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Kola and his team must decide who to trust and what it really means to be a Champion. Because in the end, its not about being the smartest or the strongest. Its about standing together.
