Praise for the Intasimi Warriors series:"Nguru's series-opening debut is rich in the mythology and beauty of Kenya. Mwikali's path from self-doubt to confidence inspires, and her struggles with friendship feel universal. A handful of charming full-page illustrations enhance the work. A heartfelt page-turner." - Kirkus Reviews (Book 1)“This is an exciting fantasy adventure – with an urgent mystery to solve and a surprise ending. A range of themes are covered – including the idea that true power comes from believing in yourself, using your skills, learning to trust and cooperate with others. The good news for young readers hungry for more, is that this is the first in a new series about the Intasimi warriors.” - Book for Keeps, 5 Stars (Book 1)"Nguru’s sequel maintains the intrigue, action, and magic of the first entry. The Kenyan lore weaves a stunning background for the battles that unfold.” — Kirkus Reviews (Book 2)
