Ada has lived close to the great rainforest for her whole life,
helping her beloved Papa Eze to heal fellow villagers when they
fall sick. But when Papa Eze himself becomes ill, he knows it's
time to reveal to Ada her true heritage - time for her to travel
deep into the forest to discover the ancient Edo kingdom of Benin,
and to use everything within her power to heal the terrible
divisions that are tearing the kingdom apart. Relying on her close
friendships, the guidance of her ancestors and her own self-belief,
Ada sets off on an incredible journey which tests her strengths to
their limit. A fast-paced adventure, this story brings to life one
of Africa's most fascinating civilizations, the ancient Edo Kingdom
of Benin. This is an immersive adventure story and perfect for any
child who enjoys being transported to another world. It fits well
with the increasing interest in African fiction and stories that
are inclusive, diverse and explore a greater range of cultures,
stories and settings. The historical Benin Kingdom is now an option
for UK primary teachers at KS2, (ages 7 - 11) and as exciting,
accurate historical fiction this is the perfect reader for teachers
looking to diversify their history teaching. The book includes a
factual section at the end, to help readers widen their knowledge
of the ancient Kingdom of Benin and West African culture and
traditions. Teachers notes, linked to the text, are also available
to download for free from the publishers, Dinosaur Books Ltd.
