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.

Such a deliciously vivid picture of 1980s and 90s boarding school in West Africa but I'm sure universally. Jummy at the River School is the perfect balance between adventure and heart. I'm not ashamed to say that a few tears appeared at times during the listening of this book. My children I have gone on to buy the sequels and read them aloud to each other. A wonderful family treat!

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.

Excellent narration
