I keep being surprised at how much I love Okorafor's stories, why, when I know I love it? She is so good at the world-building and creating the characters, I feel like I was there watching them, that I know them. Also beautifully read by Burton.

Una historia fantástica de niñas que se encuentran luchando con babuinos por algo que ni ellas mismas comprenden. Muy divertida y con ese sentimiento de que esta historia es el principio de algo más grande para las niñas.
