Children of the Benin Kingdom

A Reading Agency Book of the Year 2020, this immersive adventure story follows Ada, who has lived close to the great rainforest all her life. She assists her Papa Eze in healing the villagers, but when he becomes ill, he reveals Ada's true heritage - a secret that has protected her from enemies. Ada must travel deep into the forest to discover the ancient Edo kingdom of Benin and harness her power to mend the rifts tearing the kingdom apart. Pursued by her enemies, Ada embarks on a journey that tests her strength to the limit, aided by her friends, ancestors, and her self-belief. The book also serves as a great resource for UK primary teachers at KS2 to diversify their curriculum about the Benin Kingdom and West African culture.
