Tarragon Hair by D.C. Harrell

The bigger the hair, the stronger the stare. 

While her parents are fishing, Amma feeds her seven siblings and readies them for school each morning. She doesn’t have time for intricate hairstyles, but Grandma insists that pretty locks, not an education, will impress potential suitors and stop the neighbors’ gossip. 

When Amma’s mother is killed by a pterodactyl-like targon on the Kongamato River, Amma drops out of high school to care for the family. Faced with dwindling resources, Amma must retreat to Grandma’s tidy plans or brave the dragon that terrorized her mama. 

Will Amma trust to Grandma’s tradition or believe her own eyes? 

With the sixth stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tale, D.C. Harrell lures you through the cryptid legends of Africa, but hide your eyes if you take your supergirls nice and neat. This coming-of-age heroine will put the “bad” back into your hair day.

Do you revel in the strange worlds of Nnedi Okorafor? Then this is the enchanted country for you.
