A glorious boarding school adventure set in Nigeria - a story of friendship, empathy and fighting for what you believe in.

'What a joyful, vibrant story! A book for the heart' EFUA TRAORE, author of Children of the Quicksands

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
  • A joyful, glorious collision of classic boarding-school story with vibrant 1990s Nigeria
  • Irrepressible Jummy investigates an intriguing mystery as her best friend from home turns up at the school
