Kwame crashes the underworld Cover Image Book

Kwame crashes the underworld / Craig Kofi Farmer.

Farmer, Craig Kofi, (author.). Roaring Brook Press, (publisher.).

Summary:

"Twelve-year-old Kwame Powell isn't ready to deal with losing his grandmother, even as he and his family head to Ghana for her celebration of life. He's definitely not ready when he's sucked into a magical whirlpool that leads straight to Asamando, the Ghanaian underworld. There, he comes face to face with his grandmother, who is very much alive, and somehow still...a kid? Together with his best friend, Autumn, and a talkative aboatia named Woo, Kwame must battle angry nature gods, and stop the underworld from destroying the land of the living. But there's an even bigger problem: Only living souls can leave Asamando. In order to save the mortal world and return home, Kwame will need to find the courage to do the bravest thing of all--learn how to say goodbye."-- Publisher's website, viewed on July 23, 2025.
