Welcome to a new term at the River School!

Jummy and Caro are thrilled to be working with their Nile House

friends on the school corn-planting competition. But as they try

to grow the biggest crops, they realize the beautiful Shine-Shine

River is running low - why, and what does it have to do with the

sinister bakery nearby?

The friends will have to step up if they want to save the river

and its wildlife - and win the school prize in the process ...

The sequel to the critically-acclaimed Jummy

at the River School, chosen as both Indie Book of the Month

and Blackwell's Book of the Month

A glorious collision of old-fashioned boarding-school

tropes with vibrant 1990s Nigeria

Irrepressible Jummy investigates a mystery full of laughter,

environmentalism and friendship with a message of empowerment
