Jummy at the River School - Sabine Adeyinka

Set in a boarding school in Nigeria in the 1990s, ‘Jummy at the River School’ is bursting with humour, joy, and morality. The story luminously explores topics such as opportunities and the value of education for all, without ever feeling inappropriate or heavy-handed. Adeyinka vibrantly paints the River School with all of its sights, tastes, rhythms and songs. There are wild animals, midnight feasts, friendships and rivalries. Jummy is full of spirit and a fantastic role-model for children who wish to explore Nigerian culture and issues of educational inequalities and privilege.
