A superstitious bigot accuses Sunny (who does draw supernatural power from her albinism) of being a witch as albino Nigerians suffer genuine harm from such accusations, the truth in this attack strikes a discordant note. Sunny is albino, though her magic has eliminated most disabling effects aside from a need to wear glasses. Now she alternates among regular school Leopard training with her teacher, Sugar Cream training with her magical alter ego spirit face and hiding her secret life from her parents and brothers.

It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphernalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock.īut the rest of his collection doesn't make the house feel cold.
