Kuki refuses to believe in the curse of the Abiku. Her destiny is not to die young! Her biggest problem right now is moving house and fitting in at her new school.

One evening while exploring, Kuki spies a driveway lined with giant palm trees. It leads to an abandoned beach house of shadows and scattered sea shells. And in the fading light, she meets a girl called Enilo. They become friends – the best of friends. Until Kuki makes a terrifying discovery … A magic realist adventure set in Nigeria and drawing from rich Yoruba mythology, for children aged 9+ and young-at-heart adults. A story about the power of female friendship over fear and superstition.

Efua Traoré

Efua Traoré is a Nigerian-German author who grew up in a small town in Nigeria. For as long as she can remember, her head was filled with little stories, but it was not until much later that she began to write them down. Apart from Nigeria, she has also lived in France and Germany and she writes in English and in German. If she had her way, she would travel much more and write every single day. Children of the Quicksands is her debut novel, which won the Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition in 2019. She lives in Munich with her husband and three daughters.
