The reader is taken to a mystical realm in Akata Witch, where nothing is exactly as it appears. It seems sense that twelve-year-old Sunny, who was born in New York but now lives in Aba, Nigeria, feels a bit bewildered. She is very sensitive to the sun since she is albino. Sunny just wants to be allowed to play football and go to school for another day without experiencing bullying. But Sunny is thrust into the realm of the Leopard People, where your worst flaw becomes your greatest strength, when she makes friends with Orlu and Chichi. Sunny, Orlu, Chichi, and Sasha get together to establish the newest Oha Coven in history. Their goal is to find Black Hat Otokoto, the person who abducts and disfigures children. Will Sunny's vision of the future emerge from the flames, or will the murderer be vanquished by her using abilities greater than her own?
