Jummy at the River School #2: Time to Shine at the River School by Sabine Adeyinka

Description

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
