An adventure novel which perfectly blends everyday contemporary life and the world of Yoruba mythology. Kuki has recently moved from Lagos to the Lekki peninsula, where a dominating bully prevents her from making friends at her new school. When Kuki meets Enilo at an enchanting abandoned mansion by the sea and they become close friends, she tries to ignore her growing sense of unease about an old curse. A lovely story about friendship, family, making the right decisions and standing up to bullying.
