BOOK BACK BLURB:

Carlotta Ikedi (A.k.a Feddie Girl) has never liked school. Not in California. Not in Oklahoma. When her exasperated parents ship her off to boarding school–in West Africa–Carlotta faces a life, culture, and existence unlike anything she’s ever known.

School rules and regulations, rising bell, lights-out, manual labor, inspections, dining time, prefects, punishments, mean bunkmates, and visiting days–it’s all here. But author Nona David takes Carlotta’s story a step further when her adventure’s lead to unfortunate incidents that threaten to drive her American family into the clutches of infidelity and organized crime.

Boarding school doesn’t get any better than this…

For those who have experienced the boarding school life, the adventures of Feddie Girl will bring those memories crashing back… For anyone else, get ready to see the world as Feddie Girl.

The novel, FEDDIE GIRL, featured Funke Akindele (as Jenifa) and her comical storming of campus dressed in pyjamas and red boots. This creditable mention of Funke in a novel written by an American author makes critics wonder if the Nollywood super star is not indeed the best Nigerian actress of this decade.

Several other Nollywood super stars including Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jolade, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha, Rita Dominic, Stephanie Okereke, RMD, Van Vicker, and Ramsey Nouah also featured in this hilarious, nostalgia-inducing novel about a rebellious American teenage girl sent to boarding school in Nigeria to gain a decent education and learn valuable life lessons and reform her ways.

Readers love the book and reviewers say it offers a unique reading experience that is witty, fun, and exhilarating. They call it a must-read and rate the author, Nona David, as one who is destined to get to the top. The masterful suspense, action, and sub-plot will curl your toes, keep you reading all night, and leave you thirsting for more.

Never has an American author represented the valued culture and way of life of Nigerians like Nona David has done in her novel "Feddie Girl."

What do you know? I guess they need more than they've got at the moment. Either that or they are looking for themed novels that drive certain messages home.
Anyway, they are stocking now so feel free to ask your sister to check-out a copy for you from her school library, if that's the only way you get to read the whole novel.
