Ship of Souls (English Edition) Formato Kindle
When Dmitri, an eleven-year-old bird-watcher and math whiz, loses his mother to breast cancer, he is taken in by Mrs. Martin, an elderly white woman. Unaccustomed to the company of kids his own age, D struggles at school and feels like an outcast until a series of unexpected events changes the course of his life.
First, D is asked to tutor the school’s basketball star, Hakeem, who will get benched unless his grades improve. Against the odds, the two boys soon realize they have something in common: they are both taunted by kids at school, and they both have a crush on Nyla, a beautiful but fierce eighth-grade girl. Then Nyla adopts D and invites him to join her entourage of “freaks.” Finally, D discovers an injured bird and brings it home from the park.
D is stunned when the strange bird speaks to him and reveals that she is really a guiding spirit that has been held hostage by ghost soldiers who died in Brooklyn at the start of the American Revolution. As Nuru’s chosen host, D must carry her from Brooklyn to the African Burial Ground in lower Manhattan, but the ghost soldiers won’t surrender their prize without a fight.
With the help of Hakeem and Nyla, D battles the Nether Beings who lurk underground, feeding off centuries of rage and pain. But it takes an unexpected ally to help the trio reach the ship that will deliver the innocent souls of the dead back to Nuru’s realm. An urban fantasy infused with contemporary issues and historical facts, Ship of Souls by Zetta Elliott will keep teen readers gripped until the very end.

Our main character is D, who is an orphan after his mother died of cancer. His foster mother is good to him, but D is lonely, especially when his foster mom takes in a very high-maintenance infant ('crack baby'.) D makes his first friend, pleasant, fun, Nyla who is also beautiful. wisdom.
D is great at math, and is hired to tutor one of the most popular kids at school, Hakeem. Hakeem's love is basketball, and he has his eye on Nyla. Neither guy complains when she decides she likes being friends with both of them. Now D's adventures include his friends.
He shows them his biggest secret: a bird that isn't a bird -- it can talk, take on different shapes, and has a lot of wisdom. The bird is here to help the GOOD African souls of soldiers of the civil war home to their resting place. Before that can happen, the ANGRY souls take an interest in D, so Nyla and Hakeem become key to D's survival and the "bird's" successful mission.
