      These stories were in MacMillan and not novels. Ali and Simbi were in primary 1 text, Edet lives in Calabar...he is 8 years old, every morning he goes to school, in the afternoon he goes to the shop....lol...that was in pri3. I think Agbo was in primary 4 text.

    All of the above and more.
    My favourite among those four would be Without A Silver Spoon.
    Ure Chokwe!
    I read books by Enid Blyton, Astrid Lindgren, Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll, CS Lewis.
    Books in the African Writers Series written by- Chinua Achebe, Flora Nwapa, Cyprian Ekwensi, Buchi Emecheta, Peter Abraham etc
    Practically all books in the Pacesetter series and more... I love reading even though it’s getting harder to indulge nowadays.
    One item my bucket list is to have a library in my home with all the books of my childhood and more for my children to gorge on.
    God willing, they will imbibe the reading culture whilst young like I did.

    Anthill of the savannah
    Things fall apart
    Evbu my love
    Sisi
    The bottled leopard
    The four books up there
    The beautiful ones are not yet born
    Etc
