Mayowa and the Masquerades

By Lola Shoneyin

Book Overview

City boy Mayowa would much rather spend his holidays playing computer games than visiting his grandmother in Ilisan. But when he meets the energetic and always-hungry Denuyi, his plans quickly change.

Together the boys chase grasshoppers, paddle in streams, climb trees, meet piglets and join a colourful masquerade parade. As Mayowa discovers the joy of outdoor adventures and village life, he realises there is a whole world waiting beyond his screen.

A warm and lively celebration of friendship, family and discovering the simple pleasures of childhood.
