#Naija Ranking- 1 (18/08/18)
The year is 2015. A nation is bracing up for what may turn out to be its most defining moment in it's 55-year history. However, two Lagos juveniles don't quite share the enthusiasm.
15-year-old Dennis Asiegbu and the football-playing goons of Grace School have once again arrived at the same river they've been unable to cross in three attempts: the quarter finals of the annual Governor's Cup. Meanwhile, his reclusive classmate, Elfrida, is about to pull off the most audacious stunt ever. When both worlds collide, owing to an insidious bet imposed by Dennis' friend, they will uncover a world of parallels- and a light they would never escape for the rest of their lives.
Sing Of A Tree In The Wild debuted on the 27th of May, 2016.

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. π«ππππππππ πΆπππ - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. β¦οΈ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind. Two broken teenagers, living the same unbearable reality, and struggling to know who they are, find solace, and a means of escape, with each other. But is it really worth it? ππππ πππ ππ πππ ππππππππ ππππππ(ππ‘π’π¬ ππ¨π¨π€ πππ§ ππ π«πππ ππ¬ π π¬πππ§π-ππ₯π¨π§π) StaComplete
