Jummy at the River School (Paperback)
Sabine Adeyinka (author)Published: 06/01/2022
A glorious Nigeria-set twist on the girl's boarding school story, Adeyinka's debut sees Jummy investigate why her best friend cannot attend the River School as a pupil.
Jummy has won a place at the River School, the finest girls' boarding school in Nigeria. Nothing can dampen her spirits, not even when she learns that her best friend Caro won't be joining her. By the Shine-Shine River, school is everything Jummy dreamt of, with friendly new girls, midnight feasts and sporting prizes - but when Caro suddenly arrives at the school to work, not to learn, Jummy must bring all her friends together to help.
From a fantastic new talent in middle-grade contemporary fiction, Sabine Adeyinka, based on her own experience of attending boarding school in Nigeria.
