Figgy has two problems. One is her name. Nobody in Ghana has that name.
The other is that her grandmother is ill and needs special medicine.
Figgy can't do much about her name, but she can do something for Grandma
Ama. She will go to America and bring back the medicine, and Kwame - her
special goat - will go with her. Out in the wide world she will meet
some bad people, but she will also find good friends.

Not the usual type of children's story but what a great read. My 8-year old had it read to his class but they didn't finish it before the school holidays. He couldn't wait to read it so had me buy it and then recommended it to me! His recommendation was that it was a very interesting book but one bit was a bit dark.
Would recommend for more mature readers.
