Welcome to a new term at the River School!
Jummy and Caro are thrilled to be working with their Nile House
friends on the school corn-planting competition. But as they try
to grow the biggest crops, they realize the beautiful Shine-Shine
River is running low - why, and what does it have to do with the
sinister bakery nearby?
The friends will have to step up if they want to save the river
and its wildlife - and win the school prize in the process ...
The sequel to the critically-acclaimed Jummy
at the River School, chosen as both Indie Book of the Month
and Blackwell’s Book of the Month
A glorious collision of old-fashioned boarding-school
tropes with vibrant 1990s Nigeria
Irrepressible Jummy investigates a mystery full of laughter,
environmentalism and friendship with a message of empowerment
