Tochi Onyebuchi recommends

Mercury Boys (2021)
Chandra Prasad
"Mercury Boys is a thrilling journey into the perils of adolescent friendship and a touching commentary on love's timelessness."

Firekeeper's Daughter (2021)
(Sugar Island, book 1)
Angeline Boulley
"Intricate and moving. Boulley takes the reader on an incredible journey with the assurance of a veteran novelist."

Ring Shout (2020)
P Djèlí Clark
"Set in a magical and magic-ridden Georgia of the 1920s, Ring Shout is a thrilling and provocative inferno of a story. One of the most powerful and propulsive pieces of speculative fiction I've read in years. Fearless. Utterly fearless."
