A young woman is the first to leave her remote village and go to a prestigious college across the galaxy--but when aliens board her ship en route, her future shifts dramatically in Nnedi Okorafor's Binti.
This slender sci-fi adventure, with its undertones of tolerance and acceptance, could easily be a young adult novel, although I don't think it has been billed as such. It is accessible to any reader with its clever protagonist, unique aliens, and some well-developed world-building.
Binti ended sooner than I might have liked, but hopefully might be the opening salvo for future adventures.
I bought this novel for my beloved Kindle and read it quickly. I was interested enough to start looking for more writing from Okorafor.
