the door of no return by kwame alexander

In his village in Upper Kwanta, 11-year-old Kofi loves his family, playing oware with his grandfather, and swimming in the river Offin. He’s warned, though, to never go to the river at night.  His brother tells him,” There are things about the water you do not know. “Like what?" Kofi asks. “The beasts.” His brother answers.
 
One fateful night, the unthinkable happens, and in a flash, Kofi’s world turns upside down. Kofi soon ends up in a fight for his life, and what happens next will send him on a harrowing journey across land and sea, and away from everything he loves.
