{"product_id":"the-ship-in-the-garden-9798396399440","title":"The Ship in the Garden","description":"During a school field trip to a historic mansion, thirteen-year-old Kofi is paired with Gavin, the class bully. Kofi hasn't yet made any friends at St. Mike's and rumours have spread about his suspension from Jameson, an elite private school. To ease his transition, Kofi's grandmother gives him an ancient amulet to wear for protection. Yet Gavin continues to torment him with racist taunts, and Kofi is almost relieved when Gavin misses the bus back to school. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver time, Gavin's disappearance starts to weigh on Kofi's conscience. His big sister Esi has advised Kofi to keep his head down if he wants to succeed at his new school. But Kofi wonders if he should tell someone that he saw Gavin steal a book from the mansion's library-or that that same book later turned up in the garden with blood smeared on its pages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen he's wearing the amulet, strange things happen. Kofi sees ghosts, hears voices from the past, and discovers he has second sight-a trait inherited from his Ghanaian grandmother. That's why Kofi can see the urisk, a river-dwelling creature who admits they traded Gavin to resurrect a long-dead friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf he wants to save Gavin, Kofi must enter another realm and make his own deal with the powerful Water Mother. But the only thing Kofi has that the goddess wants is the powerful amulet intended for his protection. Is a racist bully worth such a sacrifice?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tora Brumalis, Zetta Elliott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798396399440\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42902651863155,"sku":"9.80E+12","price":14.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_fb384703-a824-4fb6-8b69-85d401ccd57a.jpg?v=1741691072","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-ship-in-the-garden-9798396399440","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
