Publisher's Synopsis
A delightful boarding school adventure set in Nigeria - the third novel in critically acclaimed trilogy.
It's a new school year and Jummy is looking forward to playing football - but then the new head teacher decides to ban it!
Instead, the girls must host an inter-school music festival that the rival boys' school is likely to win.
With River School pride at stake, Jummy and her team must come up with a new game plan - and fast.
- A characterful own-voices story and the third novel in the critically acclaimed trilogy.
- Jummy at the River School was chosen as the BA Indie Book of the Month and the Blackwell's Children's Book of the Month.
- A glorious collision of old-fashioned boarding-school tropes with vibrant 1990s Nigeria.
