Ife Adebola hasn’t been at Nithercott, her new prestigious boarding school, for long, but she’s already over the petty gossip and the silly lore of ' the Changing Man.' Bijal, another student in Ife's scholarship program, is the only one trying to befriend her, but Ife doesn’t need new friends. After all, she’s perfectly happy with the ones at her old school. As Ife settles in at Nithercott, she starts to notice strange mushrooms and an earthy yet unsettling smell that lingers on—and even off—campus. Then a classmate begins acting different one day. And there are the whispers among teachers. As things get weirder, Ife can’t help but wonder if there could actually be any truth to the decades-old lore of the mysterious Changing Man. Or if there’s any connection to the missing brother of her classmate Ben. Needing answers, Ife has no choice but to team up with Ben and Bijal to investigate. But can the trio act quickly enough to uncover who—or worse, what—is behind the Changing Man, before they become his next victims? More scary reads by Tomi Oyemakinde: We Are Hunted
