Finding Tola: Escaping the Hood is a gripping coming-of-age novel that blends African tradition, family loyalty, and the raw challenges of adolescence into an unforgettable adventure.

At fifteen, Tola Matthews is no longer a boy. After his first hunt with his friends is sabotaged, Tola finds himself drawn into a mystery that soon collides with something far greater: the return of The Future—a ruthless faction that kidnaps and brainwashes boys for their own cause. When a familiar enemy reemerges, Tola must choose between obedience to tradition and the call to protect his people.

As danger presses in on his family, and as his sister Lindi shocks the village by wielding forbidden skills, Tola faces battles both on the field and within his own heart. From stolen springbok meat to a fight for survival against the notorious Jogba, Tola discovers that manhood is not simply about strength—it is about courage, responsibility, and faith in the face of impossible odds.

This young adult novel is perfect for readers who enjoy:

Fast-paced African adventure and survival stories
Rich cultural storytelling rooted in family and tradition
Young heroes navigating loyalty, identity, and destiny
Stories of courage, resilience, and coming of age

Step into Ilanga, stand with Tola, and witness the journey of a boy becoming a man—tested by betrayal, sharpened by danger, and strengthened by hope.
