Monrita & Jaja

By Olusanya Anjorin

Monrita & Jaja is a thrilling adventure of a young maiden, Monrita, whose unpredictable character made her the cynosure of all eyes. The maxim, “what a man can do, a woman can do better “aptly describes the enfant-terrible.
Darkness enveloped the village. Bara and his friend must go in search of a lost dog, Jaja. Is it alive? What could have happened? They dashed to the forest, breathless. After the frantic search, Jaja is found. His eyes are shutting down; a considerable amount of blood had been lost. Will he survive?
The inclusion of poems makes this book an interesting read. It will stir your imagination from start to finish. It is an adventure book with gripping suspense, humor, and full of moral lessons.
Students in school can test their comprehension with the list of questions at the end of each chapter.
