The Door of No Return, a #1 New York Times bestseller, was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Writing.

He loves these things above all else: his family, the fireside tales of his father’s father, a girl named Ama, and, of course, swimming.
But when the unthinkable – a sudden death – occurs during a festival between rival villages, Kofi ends up in a fight for his life. What happens next will send him on a harrowing journey across land and sea, and away from everything he loves. Yet Kofi’s dreams may be the key to his freedom…
