Cursed with a weird name and an illness to match, Koku thinks life can't get any worse - until he unleashes a demon on a school trip. He expects detention, but instead he's hurled into an impossible quest filled with MAGICAL TRIBES, MAN-EATING MONSTERS and VENGEFUL MERMAIDS.

When an ASSASSIN is sent to hunt him down, Koku's only hope is to team up with a clumsy shapeshifter and a moody warrior-in-training. Together they enter the JUJULAND JUNGLE, a place filled with DANGEROUS SECRETS.

Can Koku discover his own power, before it's too late?

Maria Motunrayo Adebisi graduated from the University of Oxford with a degree in English Literature, although she currently works in tech. On graduating she realised that she wanted to write a novel that would speak to children straddling British and African identities and make them proud of both.
