Welcome to a new term at the River School!
Best friends Jummy and Caro are attending together and they're
thrilled to discover they both get to work on Nile House's
agricultural project.
But as they try to cultivate their crops, they realise the Shine-Shine
River is running low - why, and what does it have
to do with the bakery nearby?
As the mystery unravels, Jummy, Caro and their classmates will
have to step up if they want to save the river - 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
