“The Last Days at Forcados High School” by A.H.
Mohammed tells the story of Jimi Solade, the most
popular boy at the elite Forcados High School.
As he begins his final year in senior secondary
together with his friends, the sweet-hearted and
devout Nene and Ansa, the nerdy art genius, he’s
determined it’s going to be his best year yet.
But Jimi’s rogue brother, Wole, is back – which
means trouble can’t be far behind.
Then there’s Efua, the beautiful and mysterious
new girl in class who seems to have no time for
boys – including Jimi. But when Jimi’s mother
falls ill, he realizes that things are about to change
- and not
necessarily in a good way.
A funny and honest book about self-discovery,
family, friendship, tolerance and the highs and lows
of life as a modern Nigerian teenager. Told in
straightforward
language, A.H. Mohammed never talks down to
readers.
Instead, Last Days stands out with its realistic
situations, original characters and deft storytelling.
It is at once entertaining and deadly serious,
tackling a range of difficult issues including drug
abuse, discrimination and loss, with intelligence
and great writing.
Thanks For Reading..
