Ato and his best friends Dzifa and Leslie are finally heading to Nnoma, the sanctuary that Ato's father helped build. They are eager to become Asafo, protectors of the natural world, but Ato also hopes to find a valuable plan hidden by his father to defend Nnoma against "enemy storms." When the trio arrives--along with dozens of childrens from across West Africa--they meet Eyra, the mysterious but magnetic owner of the sanctuary, as well as Nnoma'sGuardians, who work along side her. They are then split into teams and must compete in missions that broaden their knowledge and appreciation of nature. The top-scoring teams will become Asafo. But there is a secret on the island, and when Eyra starts behaving erratically, Ato suspects foul play. He, Dzifa, Leslie, and their teammate Hafsat must work together quickly to protect Nnoma--and Ato's father's legacy. Flying Up the Mountain is a propulsive and deeply moving story about how we interact with the world around us: how we love and care for our friends, how we protect and nurture our environment, and how we safeguard empoweringlegacies for generations to come. 650 0 $a Boys $z Ghana $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Bird refuges $z Ghana $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children $z Africa, West $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Nature study $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers $x Death $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Accra (Ghana) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 6 $a Garçons $z GhaÌna $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a ReÌserves ornithologiques $z GhaÌna $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Nature $x EÌtude et enseignement $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a PeÌres $x Mort $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a Secret $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. 650 7 $a Adventure stories $2 fast 655 7 $a Juvenile works $2 fast 655 7 $a Ecofiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011750.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240106010703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E36BD2A933C11EEBCD0C43545ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
