Product description
A heartwarming, exciting story of friendship, wonder and dance from Waterstones Prize-shortlisted author Efua Traore!
Jomi’s mum left when he was little to make a new life for them in Lagos, the city of dreams. When Jomi doesn’t hear from her, he decides to follow. His only starting place is a TV dance competition that his mum used to love.
Things go badly for the boy and his pet bushbaby, until he meets a crew of street kids. Together, they come up with a one-chance idea to find Jomi’s mother – and make their own dreams come true.
A brand new novel full of joy and wonder by the author of Children of the Quicksands, shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize
Selected as The Times Children’s Book of the Year 2023
A contemporary adventure of destiny, friendship and dance set in the vibrant city of Lagos, Nigeria
Jomi hopes to find his missing mum by dancing on a TV talent show in a story which offers emotional pull and a lot of fun!
