ORE AGBAJE-WILLIAMS, author of The Three of Us
Plucky fourteen-year-old Adunni is in Lagos, excited to finally enrol in school. Having escaped her rural village in a desperate bid to seek a better future, she's found refuge with Tia, a kind and brilliant woman on her own troubled journey of self-discovery.
But it's not so simple to run away from your past.
On the night before she is due to join her new classmates for her first lesson, a terrible knocking at the front gate summons Adunni back to her home village, Ikati, where her dramatic story of resilience first began.
As Tia frantically tries to protect her from an uncertain fate, Adunni must try to save not only herself but all the young women of her village, and transform Ikati into a place where girls are allowed to claim the bright futures they deserve - and roar their stories to the world.

Moving and powerful Story
This story was incredibly deep, touching, and moving. It brought to life the experiences of girls and women from small villages in Africa, giving them a powerful voice. It highlighted their stories in a way that made you feel as if you were walking alongside Aduni, the main character. It left me eager to learn more, and I hope there will be a sequel to continue this journey.

Gripping
Wonderful intertwining storyline. Just couldn’t stop listening. Beautifully expressed. Captured the various cultures coexisting in Nigeria and especially the experience of women.

You can Roar
Another outstanding book from Abi Dari. This book contains many important themes and lessons - not just the suppression of women but forced marriage, female genital mutilation and the important of education.
The narration was perfect.
Aduni is becoming a young woman, and on the night she is supposed to leave for her a schooling a terrible thing happens. I can't say more without giving it all away, but wow. We follow Aduni and Ms Tia on another breathtaking journey.
I have only one complaint, it finished. Dare we hope for one more installment of this magnificent series?! I certainly hope so.

Love this author
Beautifully written, it's both sad and happy, with humor. It embodies hope, love, the courage of a young girl, and care. A powerful storyline. I love it; Miss Tia and Adonie are a force to be reckoned with.

And boy did she roar!
I thought about Adunni often after I read this book. I dont think a protagonist has ever done that to me. And So I Roar was everything I hoped it would be and more. The narrator was fantastic. I believed in all of those characters. Miss Tia is a beautiful human and I'm glad her and Adunni found each other. Thank you for this book.
