Reads

“Never take your glasses off outside the walls of our home.”   When Fibikemi loses her glasses and inadvertently breaks her mother’s rule, she encounters something strange, and it is only the beginning of a weird and terrifying journey; in a matter of time, someone dangerous will come for her.   Her friend Aaron Oni has just two more months to live, and Fib’s obsession with saving Aaron pushes her to do the unimaginable.   Eventually, she discovers exactly why she must never take off her eyeglasses outside her home.   Fib and the Axe of Fury is an enthralling blend of vibrant fantasy and exotic African mythology.
