Review posted April 11, 2025. Little, Brown and Company, 2022. 397 pages. Review written January 31, 2023, based on an advance reader copy I got at ALA Annual Conference. Starred Review Poet and Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander tackles a historical novel-in-verse with this book. He takes us into the life of Offin, a kid from the 1860 Asante Kingdom, in the part of West Africa now known as Ghana. We get pulled into Offin's life and family. We hear stories from his grandfather, Nana Mosi.
