What is Three cheers for the River School about?

At the River School in 1990s Nigeria, Jummy is thrilled about the new term and hopes to play football with her friends. But the new head teacher bans the game and gives the girls a daunting challenge instead: organising an inter-school music competition against their rival boys’ school. With River School pride on the line, Jummy and her teammates must work together, face unexpected setbacks and invent a winning plan before the big event begins.
