He loves these things above all else: his family, the fireside tales of his father’s father, a girl named Ama, and, of course, swimming. But when the unthinkable – a sudden death – occurs during a festival between rival villages, Kofi ends up in a fight for his life. What happens next will send him on a harrowing journey across land and sea, and away from everything he loves. Yet Kofi’s dreams may be the key to his freedom…Trade Review"At once vivid and simple, lyrical and surgical, expressive and exacting, comforting and cutting" -- Lupita Nyong'o"a gripping coming-of-age story" * Guardian *"An intensely powerful coming-of-age story steeped in African tradition and mythology" * Waterstones *"An unflinching and essential reminder that African American history begins in Africa, not in slavery" * The School Librarian *"[Alexander's] most ambitious work to date...
