Three cheers for the River School

Description

A delightful boarding school adventure set in Nigeria – the third novel in critically acclaimed trilogy.

It’s a new term at the River School. Jummy has been looking forward to playing football – only for the new head to ban it!

Instead, the girls must host an inter-school music competition 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.
