The Power Keepers Synopsis

Miles Morales with a Ghanaian twist: Marcus and his friends navigate newfound powers rooted in African mythology in this original, action-packed full-colour graphic novel for readers aged 9+. Marcus is struggling to focus at school, despite his brains. He and his friends, Tayo, Gina and TJ, are good kids, but don't always make the best decisions... And when they find four strange, symbol-covered totems, the real trouble begins. The totems are magical items once belonging to Anansi, the legendary spider god from Ghanaian folklore. The good news: they've granted the friends incredible ancient powers - like energy blasts, protective shields and super-strength - and Anansi himself has appeared as their mentor. The bad news: Adze, a dangerous enemy of Anansi, is determined to steal their powers for his own dark ends... And Tayo's life hangs in the balance. Can Marcus find his strength and save his friend before it's too late? An exciting, authentic and accessible graphic novel full of quick humour, action and video-game-style battles, printed in full colour, perfect for readers aged 9-13 and fans of Miles Morales, Marvel movies and Amari and the Night Brothers. Rooted in African mythology and centring a modern-day Ghanaian family and their community in the UK. Includes a warm, positive representation of ADHD and the benefits of embracing neurodivergent ways of thinking.
