Kofi and the Rap Battle Summer by Jeffrey Boakye
A brand new series starring one ordinary school boy with a passion for music, a best friend with a photographic memory . . . and the coolest money-making scheme ever! Fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce will love this series. Kofi is used to stuff going wrong, he's usually in detention or about to be. But when he finds out his best friend Kelvin has a photographic memory, he comes up with a genius money-making scheme. The whole school is obsessed with music, but no one can ever make out the words, so the boys hit the jackpot selling a new fanzine full of song lyrics: PAPER JAM. It's not long before one of the teacher's tells Kofi: 'You could be a real leader at this school, you know that?' and . . . suddenly it's turning out to be the best summer ever!
