Nine-year-old Eva wants to go home. Eva is a biracial girl who feels trapped at Faith Academy, a boarding school in Ivory Coast whose students are mainly white American children of evangelical missionaries. When her imagined superhero powers fail to help her to fly home to her family, Eva decides to try the power of faith, with mixed results. Faith Academy is the often hilarious story of her gradual adjustment to the school culture of dormitory life and strict rules, and religious fundamentalism. Eva's resilient spirit shines through as she makes friends and learns to navigate the often stifling and even discriminatory situations that arise, in a way that seeks being true to her own developing conscience.
