Books like Go well, Anna Hibiscus! by Atinuke
Anna Hibiscus, her family, and her Grandfather travel by bus through mangrove swamps, rainforests, scrublands, rivers, hills, and mountains to a secluded village. In this rural setting, the family’s home—originally owned by Anna’s great‑grandparents—remains unchanged: no running water, no electricity, no roads, and no traffic signals. Amidst these traditional surroundings, Anna’s life is poised for change: her cousin Joy is about to marry, and Grandfather muses about staying in the village forever.
