Note générale :
|
Her lungs were almost bursting and, just when she thought it was over and she was going to die, the quicksands spat her out. She hit hard ground, a sharp pain driving through her head and shoulders. Coughing and gasping for air, it took her a long moment to calm down. At last, still panting, she looked up. She was not in the jungle of Ajao any more. This was a different place.

Résumé :
|
Simi is sent to stay with her grandmother in a remote village deep in the forests of Nigeria. Witch-like and tight-lipped about the past, her grandmother hints at a tragic family secret – but won’t tell Simi the truth. Simi is desperate to discover it for herself, but it’s only when she’s caught in the red quicksand of a forbidden lake that her adventure truly begins. Along with new friends, Jay and Bubu, Simi must bring her family back together and restore peace to the village.
