Figgy in the World
by Tamsin Janu (Author)
Figgy has two problems. One is her name. Nobody in Ghana has that name. The other is that her grandmother is ill and needs special medicine. Figgy can’t do much about her name, but she can do something for Grandma Ama.
She will go to America and bring back the medicine, and Kwame – her special goat – will go with her. Out in the wide world she will meet some bad people, but she will also find good friends.
