The Last Days at Forcados High Schooltells the story of Jimi Solade, the most
popular boy at the elite Forcados High School. As he begins his final
year in senior secondary together with his friends, the sweet-hearted
and devout Nene and Ansa, the nerdy art genius, he’s determined it’s
going to be his best year yet. But Jimi’s rogue brother, Wole, is back
– which means trouble can’t be far behind. Then there’s Efua, the
beautiful and mysterious new girl in class who seems to have no time
for boys – including Jimi. But when Jimi’s mother falls ill, he
realizes that things are about to change - and not necessarily in a
good way.
A funny and honest book about self-discovery, family, friendship,
tolerance and the highs and lows of life as a modern Nigerian teenager.
Told in straightforward language, A.H. Mohammed never talks down to
readers. Instead, Last Days stands out with its realistic situations,
original characters and deft storytelling. It is at once entertaining
and deadly serious, tackling a range of difficult issues including drug
abuse, discrimination and loss, with intelligence and great writing.
AUTHOR:

Forcados High is his first book.
REVIEWS
The last day at Forcados College thought a very valuable lesson. It
reveals the disconnect between teachers and their students. It is
thoroughly enjoyable; readers can relate with the story. - Tunde Femi
