Welcome to a new MG fantasy series by @craigkofifarmer out now!
🇬🇭
Kwame is struggling to cope with his grandmother’s death and has little to no desire to attend her celebration of life in Ghana, but when a monkey (aboatia) straight out of Akan mythology steals his grandmother’s dashiki, Kwame is determined to get it back. With the help of his best friend, Autumn, the two end up in the Ghanaian underworld, Asamando. There they find angry gods who want to end humanity and they find Kwame’s grandmother…alive and as a little girl!

This was such a wild ride full of nonstop action. I loved the Deaf representation and how the author explained the signing meanings throughout the book for kids to learn as well. Fans of Amari and the Night Brothers, the Witchlings, the Marvellers and Tristan Strong will devour book 1 and will be on the edge of their seats for the second! Thanks to @macmillan for the title. All opinions are my own.

CW: grief, death of a grandparent, environmental issues, ableism, racism
