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
