About this listen

Simi is sent to stay with her grandmother in a remote village deep in the forests of Nigeria. Witchlike and tightlipped about the past, her grandmother hints at a tragic family secret but won't tell Simi the truth. Simi is desperate to discover it for herself, but it's only when she's caught in the red quicksand of a forbidden lake that her adventure truly begins. Along with new friends Jay and Bubu, Simi must bring her family back together and restore peace to the village....

I loved the incorporation of Lagos. Haven’t seen it being used in many story’s so it was really nice to have such a unique and place build up the plot. The narration was fantastic and the variation in character voices. I would recommend this story to 10-15 year olds who are looking for an inclusive mystery with multiple intertwined themes.

Imaginative story!
