Ten-year-old Mayowa discovers that jumping on books allows her to draw on the emotions within them and influence how other people feel. Determined to use her gift to help people seeking refuge, she soon discovers that others have very different intentions.
Blending magic, humour and adventure, this story offers opportunities to explore racism, refugee rights and the power of language to shape attitudes. It provides a rich starting point for learners to question whose voices are heard, consider how stories can reinforce or challenge prejudice, and explore how they can use their own words and actions to stand up against injustice.
