A hilarious Middle Grade fantasy packed with Ghanian culture and folklore, Kwame Crashes the Underworld is an action-packed story that still boasts great character development and an expert exploration of grief and depression in pre-teens. Framer does an excellent job exploring the complexities of mourning, especially the young mourning the elderly, and how unprocessed grief can manifest negatively in other ways. Kwame Crashes the Underworld also investigates the 2nd/3rd-generation immigrant expericence for a pre-teen who feels displaced from ancestral culture and what it means to truly ~be~ from a place.
