Macmillan Young Listeners, 2024

Discover a stunning middle grade fantasy about a boy hurled into the Ghanaian underworld to help his grandmother save humanity, perfect for fans of Tristan Strong and Amari and the Night Brothers. Twelve-year-old Kwame Powell isn't ready to deal with losing his grandmother, even as he and his family head to Ghana for her celebration of life. He's definitely not ready when he's sucked into a magical whirlpool that leads straight to Asamando, the Ghanaian underworld. There, he comes face to face with his grandmother, who is very much alive, and somehow still...a kid? Together with his best friend, Autumn, and a talkative aboatia named Woo, Kwame must battle angry nature gods, and stop the underworld from destroying the land of the living. But there's an even bigger problem: Only living souls can leave Asamando. In order to save the mortal world and return home, Kwame will need to find the courage to do the bravest thing of all -- learn how to say goodbye. *** "Brimming with laughter, joy, and beautiful messages about grief, hope, lost loved ones, identity, and the ancestors, Kwame Crashes the Underworld rattles the spirit." —**Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times-bestselling author of The Marvellers and The Memory Thieves “I wish this book had existed when I was a child. I dare readers not to let Kwame Powell into their hearts.” —Roseanne A. Brown, New York Times-bestselling author of Serwa Boateng’s Guide to Vampire Hunting "A rollicking and electrifying adventure of one boy's journey to accept himself, his family, and his cultural heritage." —Jamar J. Perry, author of Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.
