Simi's Road Trip: The Legend of Emotan

When 12-year-old Simi reluctantly joins her family on a trip to visit her grandparents, she braces herself for another “boring” week in a quiet town without TV or WIFI. She expects boredom, bumpy roads, and endless hours.
 However, when Simi and her family arrive at their hotel in the bustling city of Benin, she has a chance encounter in the hotel lobby with a retired schoolteacher, Mrs. Allen. She tells Simi about Emotan, a courageous woman from the city's past who risked everything to protect her people.
Drawn into the tale of bravery, betrayal, and legacy, Simi learns how this brave hero helped shape a kingdom.
The second installment in the Simi’s Road Trip series, this book blends real Nigerian history with modern-day adventure and wonder.
