The Changing Man

By Tomi Oyemakinde

Book Overview

Get ready to go back-to-school with this supernatural mystery where the overly privileged classmates at Ife's new boarding school become the least of her worries when there might be truth to the rumors of a dangerous entity targeting students--and Ife or her new friends could be next

In hidden rooms...from shadows of the night...his steps come soundless...his eyes glow bright...

Ife Adebola hasn't been at Nithercott, her new prestigious boarding school, for long, but she's already over the petty gossip, the silly lore of a being known as the Changing Man, and the classmates who won't let her forget she's in the Urban Achievers scholarship program. Bijal, another student in the program, is the only one trying to befriend her, but Ife doesn't need new friends. After all, she's perfectly happy with the ones at her old school.

As Ife settles in at Nithercott, she starts to notice strange mushrooms and an earthy yet unsettling smell that lingers on--and even off--campus. Then a classmate begins acting different one day. And there are the whispers among the teachers. As things get weirder, Ife can't help but wonder if there could actually be any truth to the decades-old lore of the mysterious Changing Man. Or if there's any connection to the missing brother of her classmate Ben.

Needing answers, Ife has no choice but to team up with Ben and Bijal to investigate. But can the trio act quickly enough to uncover who--or worse, what--is behind the Changing Man, before they become
his next victims?
