Jabari and the Shady Shortcut

By Lemar O Archer

Jabari loves shortcuts. Why take the long, sweaty road when a quick path gets him home faster? Even Grandma Sophie's warnings-"Shortcut draw blood "-aren't enough to stop him. But one night, Jabari takes a shortcut and comes face-to-face with a terrifying legend: the Rolling Calf. Grandma's stories weren't just stories after all. Now, with the fiery-eyed, chain-rattling monster hot on his heels, Jabari must use Grandma's folklore wisdom to survive. A thrilling tale of Jamaican proverbs, courage, and the hard-won lesson that the seemingly easy path can cost you everything. This heart-pounding adventure will keep young readers on the edge of their seats
