Meet Oyinade Adebayo

A dyslexic student who discovers an unexpected ability: the power to sprint without fainting. After this revelation, she decides to join her school's athletics team and works diligently toward her ultimate dream-becoming an Olympic champion and medalist. 

But will she succeed?  
How is any teenager supposed to focus on academics with the distractions of raging hormones and hormonal imbalances? How is this particular teenager expected to thrive amid financial struggles? How can she balance her passion for sprinting with getting good grades, sustaining friendships, meeting the high career expectations of her Nigerian parents, and ultimately creating a stable relationship with God?

In the relatively short span of her penultimate and final years in high school, Oyinade, along with her friends and rivals, will forge unexpected bonds, sever toxic ties, mend broken identities, build lasting friendships, and learn to love themselves and one another.

Discover how Oyinade navigates this intriguing, motivating and emotional journey.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
