This week I read Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi. Wow, what a powerful little book, at only 173 pages. About a sister, Ella, and a brother, Kev, who live in a dystopian Los Angeles similar to our own. Ella has “a Thing,” a secret power so threatening she hides it from the world, almost accidentally killing her mom when she was too young to know better. She can disappear from one place to another, destroy objects and people, speak in your mind, read your memories, and more.
