Kwame's Magic Quest #1: Rise of the Green Flame
Ages 6–8
The day has finally come for eight-year-old Kwame to start Nkonyaa School and learn magic! Every child receives a magic calabash from the Nkonyaa Tree, which they use for spells. Kwame is excited to begin magical training with his new friends, but he can't access his magic powers. He starts to worry — what if he has no magic at all? Then his friend Fifi starts acting strange, and Kwame discovers that his powers might be more unusual than anyone expected.
