Binti is the first of the Himba people to be accepted to the Oomza Univeristy - the most diverse university of the universe. Very few humans from anywhere have been accepted.
In Binti's family and culture people do not leave. But she wants so badly to go that she sneaks out and gets on the spaceship.
When the spaceship is attacked by aliens, Binti is the only survivor. When she realizes she can communicate with the aliens and that they are taking the ship to the University to attack an old enemy.
Okorafor is a wonderful storyteller. Binti is a great character who is navigating a whole new universe with aplomb.
