Nika –
In the second book in the River School series Jummy meets Dongo, a new girl at the school, and have to battle The Atlantic Four from the Zambezi House for pretty much anything throughout the year. But more importantly, something is happening to the Shine-Shine River – it’s smelly, sluggish and brown. Jummy and her friends need to figure out if Redbrick Bakery has something to do with it.
I love boarding school stories and River School series, set in Nigeria, is one of my favourites. This book deals not only with friendship and school issues all children have, but with wider environmenatl topics as well. Definitely worth to be picked up in these climate change ridden times.
