Summary
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.

Amazing
An amazing story line and performance appropriate for all ages especially teenagers. Lots of takeaways from this story.
I especially liked the background sounds that bought the story to life. Great job all round.

Excellent narration
very good narration of a familiar story of life in boarding school in Nigeria. The narrator did a good job of capturing the "Nigerian' inflection and drama. I appreciate that the reader had a (one of) nigerian accent which brought the book to life for me.

The perfect boarding school adventure
Not a dull moment. I laughed out loud in moments and felt tearful in others. A school adventure truly full of heart.
