Áirithint áit ar Kòkú Àkànbí and the heart of midnightAfter cynical thirteen year-old orphan Koku accidentally releases a demon on a trip to the British Museum, his uncle sends him to Olori, the West African land of origins, for the summer. Cursed with a weird name and an illness to match, Koku thinks life can't get any worse. His sickle cell anaemia has always left him feeling unwanted and powerless, and now he's being parcelled off to a country he barely remembers. But when Koku arrives in Olori, he finds himself in a land of endless sun and powerful magical tribes - and on the wrong side of a war.After cynical 13-year-old orphan Kòkú accidentally releases a demon on a trip to the British Museum, his uncle sends him to Olori, the West African land of origins, for the summer.
