When local children begin to go missing, snatched from the beach and vanishing into wells, suspicious eyes turn to Corinne.BR BR To rescue the missing children and clear her own name, Corinne goes deep into the ocean to find Mama DLeau, the dangerous jumbie who rules the sea. But Mama DLeaus help comes with a price. Corinne and her friends Dru, Bouki, and Malik must travel with mermaids across the ocean to fetch a powerful object for Mama DLeau. The only thing more perilous than Corinnes adventures across the sea is the jumbie that waits for her back home.BR BR With actionpacked storytelling and inventive twists on Caribbean and West African mythology and fairy tales, IRise of the Jumbies Iis a breathlessly exciting tale of courage and friendship.BR BR BAn NPR Best Book of 2017BR A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2017BR A School Library Journal Best Book of 2017BDIV
