Fara, a fifteen-year-old boy from the rural village of Pulima, Ghana, is one of the thousand most gifted children initiated into the Soul School of the Ancestors in Nibinooland-the land of Africa. Chosen at birth and trained his whole life in the Soul School tradition alongside his modern education, Fara is now at a critical crossroads: he has eleven days to search for Navala Loori Pipa, the most powerful leaf in the land. This miracle leaf can cure every disease in Nibinooland, including an evil plague of cancer being masterminded by demons of the outer world. In his final eleven days of soul schooling, Fara must learn to face and overcome his five greatest fears before he can find the miracle leaf of Nibinooland: - Fear of the Ghost - Fear of the Beast - Fear of pain - Fear of darkness - Fear of the Dead
