The Changing Man -- Tomi Oyemakinde, Hardcover

A teenage girl is pulled into investigating the truth behind her new boarding school's decades-old legend in The Changing Man, this debut Young Adult speculative thriller by Tomi Oyemakinde

Face front. Watch your back. BE BRAVE.

If it was left to her, Ife Adebola wouldn't be starting at Nithercott School. Because despite her being in the Urban Achievers scholarship program, her parents can barely afford the tuition. No matter who is trying to be friends with her, like her classmate Bijal, or how much the prestigious boarding school tries to pull her in, Ife is determined not to get caught up in any of it.

But when another student, Malika, begins acting strange, Ife can't help but wonder if there's more going on at Nithercott than she realizes. Could there be any truth to the school's decades-old legend of the Changing
Man? Is there any connection to the missing older brother of her classmate, Ben?

As more questions arise, Ife has no choice but to team up with Ben and Bijal to investigate. But can the trio act quickly enough to uncover who is behind everything, before one--or all--of them is the Changing Man's next victim?
