Seeking The Title Of This Book by rickleye: 3:39am On Oct 10, 2023
If you remember Chike and the river and eze goes to school . Macmillan books. M&B . I need help with the title of a book.

Had to do with a bully/truant with some friends
They attended boarding school
They were also punished by cutting grass in school.
One day the main instigator was sent home. He instead impersonates an inspector and sleeps in the house of the local chief.
He impregnates the daughter of the local chief and runs back to school .

If you know the title please respond.

Could it be Trouble in Form Six by Cyprain Ekwensi? Was the main character named Tayo?

These are both well-known works of Nigerian literature written by Chinua Achebe:

"Chike and the River" (also known as "Chike and the River: A Tale of Niger"wink is a novel written by Chinua Achebe. It was first published in 1966 and tells the story of a young Nigerian boy named Chike and his adventures along the Niger River.

"Eze Goes to School" is another novel by Chinua Achebe. It was first published in 1964 and follows the story of a man named Ezeulu, the chief priest of the god Ulu, and his experiences with colonial education in Nigeria.

Both of these books are significant works in African literature and provide insights into the cultural and social contexts of Nigeria during the colonial period.

Nope.
It was a boy, I also recall when he was on the bus he passed gas and the conductor swore at the person ( not knowing it was the character who had done the deed)
He was mischievous and cunny .

I wish I could help with the title of the book, but I'm not sure either. Sounds like an interesting story with a lot of drama! Speaking of such things, I recently had to write a report and it was a bit difficult. I found this useful site https://essays.edubirdie.com/report-writing-services that offers report writing services - check it out, I think you'll definitely find something for you. It really saved me time and stress. Anyway, I hope someone knows the book you are talking about!

Odenge was a legend. As what the school teacher skilled at removing teeth with slaps.

Scoundrels in uniform.
