‘This children’s book is an informative, fascinating read which can engage young people’s attention as they learn a variety of facts through the eyes of an inquisitive eight-year-old girl, Bola.’

(University of Ibadan)
‘A vivid story about an African boy’s adventures…his coming of age’-editor.
‘Embellished with witty Yoruba proverbs, spiced sumptuously with amazing folktales, and written in the thrilling mode of magic realism, … … brims with wistful memories of childhood sports and schoolboy antics and jokes; and portrays a gorgeous array of charming characters.
It allegorizes Nigeria’s turbulent history of ethnic strife, economic depredation, and political shenanigans; compares communal rural life with desolate city life; … Leaves all insoluble contradictions, mind-boggling confusions, and perplexing conundrums on God’s doorstep… … Nevertheless, the author hands out hope to Nigerians. The book is a pearl.
