One Chance Dance by Efua Traore - Paperback

Jomi’s mum left when he was little to make a new life for them in Lagos, the city of dreams.

After months pass with no word from her, Jomi sets out for the big city with only a friendly bush baby, a crew of street kids he meets, and a wild idea of how to find his mother: auditioning for the dance show she always watches.

A standout, richly layered story of perseverance, creativity, joy and love, for readers of 8 and up.
